*Vans are built for fun - all kinds of fun with all types of models. Each of the San- tana van conversions, for ex- ample, can be as simple or as elaborate as your needs. They go camping, tow travel trailers, haul materials fôr do-it-yourselfers, or take you to work in comfort. The vancamper loves weekend trips and vaca- tions. With more than 6 feet of headroom, it's equipped with an overhead bunk, big side doors for easy loading, bathroom, and full galley with on-b4oard water, refrig- erator, and cooktop range. One of the vancamper mod- els even has a shower and dressing room. The station wagon easily seats four to six adults com- fortably. It has a choice.of two models - one with bucket seats and a center en- tertainment table, plus rear storage; the other with a convertible dinette and mini-galley. The station wagon is ideal as a tow vehi- cle for a travel trailer and can be painted to match your trailer. You can also choose from three specialty vans - surf- er, SST and chuckwagon. The surfer is the,-nmst per- sonal of all, sinâe it can be designed to fit your life- style. Standard in the surfer are bucket-styled and decor- matched, high-back driver's seats, shag carpeting, fully insulated walls, roof vent and portholes. From. then on, it's ail up to yo,u. Op- tions are almost limitless, ranging from padded interi- or walls and furniture to stereo and paint schemes - from mild striping to ex- pansive murais. The SST cruiser is a sta- tion wagon interior with a stepped roof for extra head- room. Special-edition in- teriors featuring high qual- ity fabrics and upholstery set this van apart. Surrounded by scouts and little league? The chuck- wagon is your answer. In- side, there are four bucket seats with an entertainment table in the center and a rear sofa. Outside, the back door opens wide to reveal a com- plete camp-kitchen - sink, cooktop stove, ice box and plenty of storage and coun- ter space. It's perfect for feeding the entire crew. The optional cab-over, bunk and expanded top are great for weekend camp-outs. Wherever your lifestyle takes you, there's a* San- tana ready to go, too - it's the all-around funcar.t WHITBY FREE PRESS, NEW CAR SUPPLEMENT, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 1979, PAGE 7 Now's the Time to Check Your Car Whether you do simple maintenance yourself or enlist professional service- station, help, here's a quick list of things to do or look for, according to car-care experts at Mobil Oil. Drain and flush the radi- ator and replace the anti- freeze with good quality, permanent-type anti-freeze. It may be time to change motor oil and replace the oil filter. You should cþtoose an oil of viscosity (resistance to flow) rating suitable for ex- pected outside temperature ranges you'll be driving in. There's growing use of syn- thetic Mobil 1, the company says. Lubricating with less fric- tion than conventionally refined oil, Mobil 1 enables the average car to go 10 ex- tra miles per tankful of gas- oline. Some production- model cars went at the rate of 27 extra miks in tests. Also, the selected'molecules in the man-made oi help it resist temperature extrpmes better than natural oils, and the synthetic lasts longer. Mobil i can go 25,000 miles or one year - whichever comes first - between oil changes. The company says car-makers' oil-change re- quirements should be followed for new cars under warranty. If you've used snow tires during the winter, you can get better gasoline mileage by switching to regular tires. If your srow tires are stud- ded, they must be off your car by certain dates anyway, according to laws in some states. Mark studded snow tires so you can put them back on the same wheels next season, because studs wear at a slight angle. Tires should be stored on their sides, fully inflated, in a cool place, and not on greasy floors. As long as you're chang- ing tires, why not switch them? Tires wear differently on different wheels, and switching at intervals of several thousand miles evens out the wear. Bias-ply tires should be crossed - left front to right rear, etc. Radial tires, which give bet- ter gasoline mileage, shouldn't be crossed. A good switch for radials could be left rear to the trunk as a spare, left front to left rear, spare to left front, right front to right rear, right rear to right front. Inflating to recommended pressures (and check when the tires are not hot from long driving) helps get best gasoline mileage. So does proper wheel alignment, in- cluding front-wheel caster, camber, and toe-in, which improve steering charac- teristics. These adjustments can get out of trim after a while, particularly from knocking around in a hard winter. Other items include: * Engine tune-upp should include checking ignition system, engine timing, vol- tage regulator output, spark plugs, ignition wires, car- buretor, and fuel pump. e Inspect exhaust system for leaks. a Check cell strength and fluid level of battery. Clean any corrosion from terminal connections. Make sure there are no loose connec- tions. * Replace air filter. e Check aiming of head- lights; see that tail, brake and direction-indicator lights work properly. a Inspect windshield wiper blades; replace if necessary. e Adjust brakes; check drums and lining for wear. See that fluid is at proper level. a Inspect hoses, ignition wires for signs of wear. t belts and cracks or VAN WORLD INSTALLATION CENTRE .OSHAWA VAN WORKS CUSTOM INTERIORS INSTALLATIONS CAR SUNROOFS 620 Dundas Street E.
