Known best here for their bodykits that've aimed to turn a couple of Nissans into Aston Martins, DAMD is actually a prolific manufacturer of styling kits for just about every Japanese automaker. We have to say that their new accessory package for Honda's Vamos, Hobio and Acty vans takes the cake, though.
Once the OE parts are switched out for the DAMD pieces, the little kei-class vans are transformed into miniaturized Dodge A100s. DAMD calls the kit "Locoboy." Honda's Vamos family of microvans certainly lends itself to retro-fication. You may recall the Vamos we featured back in August, which was kitted to look like a 1972 Honda Step Life van.
The Step Life clone was cool, but the Locoboy operates on an entirely different plane. We'd roll in this all day.

See I'd love to see american manufactures doing this with there retro cars... I think it be great if we could get a smaller, possibly cartoonish looking 69 camaro look alike, (it of course would have to be a AWD turbo Retro Cartoon Camaro,) but hey... The kind of people that would buy this sort of car are not intrested in a exsact reprensentation of a Camaro... they want the spirital Reproduction of a Camaro.

It would be silly to actually spend money on something like this, but, I love it.

That van has too much soul and character for a modern car designer. They have to suck the soul out of every vehicle because, as evil, blood-sucking vampire-wraiths who hate humanity (especially little girls) and puppies, it is the only way to sustain their being.
I'm just sayin'
Cheers,

I agree, it does look like an old Dodge. Maybe it's the two tone paint job and bug-out head lights. It has sole!
