Wait, so they used to vans for the Scooby-Doo movie? Man, they are cheap! And wasn't the origenal Mystery Machine (or whatever they call it) something more classic like a third generation Ford Econoline E-150 or a Dodge Ram Van? |

It was hard to tell what the mystery machine in the cartoon was. IT seemed like a Chevrolet Van, a Dodge A100, and a Ford Econoline all put together. |

In the original cartoon series, it was a mix of numerous 1960s vans. I saw design elements of the Dodge A-100, Ford Econoline, and various pre-1971 Chevy/GMC vans. I also saw hints of Volkswagen Bus in it as well. In the animated films "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" (1998) and "Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost" (1999), the Mystery Machine is obviously a 1995 Chevrolet Astro or GMC Safari cargo van. It is easily identifiable as such because it has the streamlined headlamps of the 1996-newer models but the interior of the 1990-1994 models. This style was exclusive to 1995, as 1994-older models retained the original front fascia while 1996 models got a completely redesigned interior with dual airbags. For a cartoon, the dashboard and interior are incredibly well-detailed in my opinion. -- Last edit: 2020-11-18 05:49:36 |

Are the side doors original? |

I don't think so. The hinges and handle are not standard Bedford parts I believe and the double doors rather narrow. A single hinged door 908mm (36in) wide was used as the side loading door. |

Seems all locations were Aus so local build likely. Strange doors may therefore be not so strange??? |

...but its left hand drive as would be expected for the movie (unless there's some filming trickery?). Did Australia also export LHD Bedfords to the Asia/Pacific markets? |
