The 'Space Ace Van' is how the 1972 sales literature described this Commer.
"Stand back and admire the practical good looks of the Commer," it continues.
"Sleek, modern lines and a smartly curved front-end to reduce drag at high speed, save fuel and minimize wind-sway for better handling and roadability."
Is roadability a real word?
This is the Deluxe version, which had a "well-appointed interior designed for comfort and convenience with more refinements than some saloon cars on the road today". Notice the words "on the road today", and not "on sale today". These luxuries the brochure is referring to are a "cushioned driver's seat", a "large ashtray" and "grained headlining". Those boys at Chrysler certainly knew how to look after us didn't they?
