Captain America's Van

History

Captain America travelled in a custom-built Chevrolet van whose nondescript outward appearance allows him to travel incognito. The van was outfitted by the Wakanda Design Group, the same company which serviced the Avengers' quinjets and automobiles. The van's interior contained a mount for the Captain's motorcycle and a built-in cot for sleeping. Built into the engine housing was a computer interface cradle designed to work in conjunction with Captain America's briefcase modem-computer system to enable him to receive messages from his hotline service.
