Why is Vans, the company, called Vans (plural form of a type of vehicle), yet they are all about shoes?
On March 16, 1966, at 704 East Broadway in Anaheim, California, brothers Paul Van Doren and James Van Doren, Gordon C Lee, and Serge D'Elia opened the first Vans store under the name The Van Doren Rubber Company.The business manufactured shoes and sold them directly to the public. On that first morning, twelve customers purchased Vans deck shoes, which are now known as "Authentic". The company displayed three styles of shoes, which were priced between US$2.49 and US$4.99, but on the opening day, the company had only manufactured display models without any inventory ready to sell—the store rack boxes were actually empty
What is a UPS truck called?
In UPS parlance, the vehicles that are used to deliver packages to your house are called “package cars”. Tractor-trailer combinations are called “Feeders”.The current fleet of package cars are being built by “Workhorse”, which is a division of Navistar, and Freightliner .In the picture above, a Workhorse is on the right of the empty space, with its more-rounded hood. The surrounding cars are all Freightliners, except the car whose left front bumper is visible in the lower right corner of the picture. It is an older style car built by Grumman Olson on a General Motors frame, introduced in 1997.Here is a better view of the older car. To its left are two more Freightliners, the one closer to it having rounded lights similar to it. The newest Freightliners have the rounded lights, probably to pay homage to the classic design of the headlights found on the iconic package car design many people are familiar with.One final note: UPS package cars are all classed by a designation that begins with “P”, which I have always assumed stood for “Package Car”. The number in the designation represents the amount of cubic feet in the car, so for example, a P-70 (or P-700) has 700 cubic ft, a P-57 570 cu.ft, P-1000 has 1000 cu.ft., etc. In the pictures above are P-800s and P-1000s ; the Workhorse in the first picture and the GM car are P-1200s. FWIW, I typically drive a Workhorse P-1200, although not the one pictured.Edited 12/24/16: Added pictures.

What is the hat called that Ronnie Van Zant had?
Thanks for the A2A, JohnIt is a Western hat, typically known as the Cowboy hat. The style is very common and can be found in any self-respecting hat shop. Texas Hatters have made claims to being his hatter, they call it the ‘hi-roller.’You can find it currently on sale at their online store, with a price tag of $0. That typically translates to it being a signature style, and open for customisation (as his definitely was customised), so the price will vary.You will notice that in many of Ronnie’s hats, the hatband varies, that is one of the customisations that would affect the price. The hat-band is the decorative ribbon that goes around the outside circumference of the hat.See that snake-skin bit around the hat? That is the hatband. Check out their store, happy shopping!
What is a van called when you build a van made to sleep/live out of ?
Depending on how much work you want to put into it there are multiple alternatives: 1) If you want something that is already setup as a type of "live-in" van then you should consider a full-size conversion van. They have most of what you are looking for and would not require much work to customize. 2) If you want to really get into making a "house" out of a van and are ready to spend A LOT of time customizing it from scratch then you should go with the commercial van and change it according to your taste.
What are hippie vans called? How did those vehicles become associated with that culture?
I believe that, in the day, these were universally just referred to as "buses". The bus, both in a practical and symbolic sense, has a special history in the '60s counter-culture. The root of this was the original "Magic Bus" -- this was used by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters who went cross-country from California eastward spreading the gospel of LSD (along with samples thereof). This was in 1964, before the rise of hippie culture that would peak in 1967. Kesey and the Merry Pranksters became pied pipers of the counterculture and several of the concepts here - the psychedelic paint job, the re-purposing of "square" vehicles, the whole idea of cross-country seeking, became part of the fabric of the emerging movement. Cue the VW micro-bus, which had been sold in the US since the early '50s and of which there were many gathering dust in family garages and used-car lots. This was an odd vehicle (there were no similar vehicles being made in the US, and no other imported vans) that was already a bit suspect to mainstream, sedan-driving America. To a young proto-hippie, this had everything: a big canvas on which to apply the psychedelic paint job, a place to sleep, room to swing a guitar, seating for a small commune. Hippie buses weren't limited to VWs -- any bus would do, including what appears to be a repurposed ice-cream truck in this picture from Woodstock (1969):But the VW micro-bus, which was relatively easy to maintain and cheap to operate, is the one that most often survived the era and became most closely associated with the idea of a "hippie van". Later the concept would evolve (some would say devolve) into the customized, Chevy, Dodge or Ford based "rocker van", proving that hippies did not have inherent good taste.
