XyloVan lived in Silver Lake, Los Angeles from its creation in 2010 to its timely demise in 2019.
It was born 27 years old as a Ford ClubWagon XLT. It spent much of its early life ferrying alcoholics around Glendale and Los Angeles, then became a tour van. The Germs once rode in it, or so the story goes.
Then it underwent major surgery that gave it a new life. Twice. And it had never been kissed. That we know of.
XyloVan was never for hire, but it brought the noise to the right kind of event, when asked nicely. And its builder still loves hearing from friends.
