Updated
2 listings make up this Chevrolet G20 page, dated 1987; look at the individual years when building a selection for a dated location or character. Looking at the dates, 1980s have the most examples; the linked pages offer a broader period selection for background traffic and other arrivals. The entries most frequently appear in American, Classic and Replica / Film car, a useful starting point when you want to compare choices across different years, makes or visual references. The selection’s leading colours are brown and grey; use them for an initial comparison with the scene, then take a closer look at the individual vehicles.
The Chevrolet G20 belongs to General Motors' long-running G-series family of full-size vans, sold as the Chevrolet Van and Sportvan and, in near-identical GMC form, as the Vandura. These vans were everywhere in 1970s and 1980s America, as tradesmen's vans, camper conversions and custom cruisers.
The most famous of them all is the black and grey van with the red stripe from the 1980s television series The A-Team, a GMC Vandura from the same G-series family. Tributes built by enthusiasts are among the most requested screen vehicles for commercials, events and music videos with a nostalgic streak, while unmodified G20s and conversions suit American period drama.
These are big, left-hand drive vans, so access and parking need checking. Tribute vans are replicas built by owners and are described as such. CarSeen lists Chevrolet G20s and A-Team style replicas from private owners.
