Dustbuster proof was: <VV> converting a 2nd gen <no Corvair>

[Dan & Synde]

Okay Mark, my turn to stir the pot!!  I couldn't resist.  I overlaid a
picture of a Black & Decker Dustbuster and a Pontiac TransPort.  The
contours are strikingly similar.  First time I saw one I remember clearly
thinking it looked like the vac.  That has to be the longest nose ever put
on a minivan!!  Anyway, enjoy!!  It is the first gen that looks the most
like a dustbuster so you have an out..... :)
