Why not 1995 as well? This front and body was first used in 1995.

Just like I imagined how Rodrick's van in the books would look like, too. :D

^ antp said years ago DRLs do are not enough to add the CDN tag.

Here is Antp's comment in reference to that :
Quote It can be useful for EU cars with US specs (as such extra lights are often quite visible on these) but I'm not sure a "made for CDN" tag is useful for US cars in that case.

In the second novel, the van is described as being at least 15 years old so it's kind of a cool detail they kept to that here.

Even cooler is the fact that Rodrick owned an El Camino in the original online version of the book. :D

From what I understand the van was still in the original online version, but was owned by one of Rodrick bandmates instead.

Interesting seeing Rodrick without his iconic van. Tho I can't say I wouldn't have minded Rodrick with an UTE :whistle:
