From all the way back to 1984, you could add this Model A Van to your collection and tell everyone you helped this group raise funds for computers. :rolleyes:

Macintosh 128K (aka "classic" or "compact"), most likely, seeing as how those were top-shelf items for the era and were released in 1984.

This casting is pretty cool all things considered, I could see a real truck like it being fixed up and resto-rodded back then, with decals or custom paint marking out the school computer fundraiser design.

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.
I'll bet they were Radio Shack Tandy TRS-80s. That's what we used when I was in school, back in 1984.
