The Scion xB becomes a 1970s custom van

Scion didn’t exist in the 1970s, but that hasn’t stopped the brand from commissioning a one-off xB inspired by that era.

The x Riley Hawk Skate Tour xB, which has been created by KMA Productions for this month’s SEMA show in Las Vegas, resembles a shrunken custom van. Styling elements such as the very browny-orangey paintjob, door mirrors, wheels and porthole side windows are all suitably retro.

It’s a similar story inside, where the specification includes brown buttoned upholstery, faux-wood trim, shag-pile carpet, a CB radio and an eight-track player. Also fitted is a more contemporary Pioneer audio system, along with a mini fridge and skateboard rack.
