Pics for slosurfer - "Toyota Master Ace Surf Super Touring van"
Chris, saw these Toyota vans all over Canada. This is not your father's Oldsmobile, this is a "Toyota Master Ace Surf, Super Touring" if you can read those badges on the back. Now that's a name! Don't overlook the "Skylite Roof" with hinged openings!

I photographed this next vehicle, then realized they were about as common in Canada as a Honda Civic in the U.S. 4WD diesel "Mitsubishi Star Wagon Delica Turbo D". Toyota may have the "Skylite Roof," but Mitsu theirs imprinted with the name "Crystal Lite Roof"

Vacation was awesome. I had considered moving to Canada, then I saw the Master Ace Surf Super Touring van and knew I had to move up there... :)
Here are some teaser pics.

Ken, welcome back and thanks for reminding me how bland our American version of vehicles are. :laugh:
Those Mitsu Delicas are badass and most are diesels and easily changed over to dual fuel, bio and regular diesel.
The windows in the Mastersurfs are badass, it would probably be easier to go up there and cut a roof off and do a roof swap than it would to import one.
By the way, I've got a guy searching junkyards in Okinawa for one of these: (I'll let you figure out what it is I'm after in the pic)

I also added a Marlin Crawler shift knob to my van for the transfercase shifter. :D I should have grabbed another one for the tranny shifter. People will really look confused when they see it then.

Inclinometer? :)

:thumbup: I was going to throw one from a Tercel in there till I found that one. I'll wait and see if he finds one.
Also something cool about the unAmerican ones, the 4wd's with the auto tranny has the two speed transfercase. The american auto tranny 4wd's just have a push button 4hi (no 4lo). That was a big reason for me wanting the 5spd 4wd, got to have that 4lo.
Those pop up skylights are awesome. :D
