Wood Panel Van Liquor Cabinet: Why Not?

Be prepared to confuse the hell out of guests because it's time to finally get an indoor wood-panel van, or at least a quarter of one. This Wood Panel Bar is a bar/liquor cabinet for lovers of the wood paneling. The liquor cabinet includes a classy drawer, hanging racks for various types of classes and an extending shelf. The back doors swing open like a real wood-panel van and the only downside is the lack of wheels. Click through to see another picture of the cabinet open.

The only way to make this wood paneled bar and liquor cabinet classier is to only store McCormicks and other bottom of the barrel liquors inside. Heck, it's beginning to remind me of my childhood, which was filled with cheap liquor and featured an ugly wood-paneled station wagon. This monstrosity is available for $2,850, which is more expensive than buying a real wood panel van and sawing the back off, but whatever. [Hometone]

Finally, something to go with my wagon-wheel coffee table! My wife is going to be so proud.

Poor space utilization, in my opinion. The drawer pullout could be larger, the inside of the doors could have hangers/hooks for bar implements, etc. I know, I'm being picky, but many liquor cabinets costing less offer more attention to detail. (You can tell I take my barware quite seriously).

Somebody messed up. It's supposed to be upholstered in red shag carpet.

Several problems here:

1) How many "wood-paneled" full-size vans even existed? Wood-paneled old Fords...check. Faux-woody wagons...check. AMC Eagle woody...check. Full-size van woody? Maybe coming out of a few fly-by-night conversion shops.

2) This "bar" bears no resemblance to any actual vehicle shape. Kind of reminds me of the Chevy/Cadillac who-cares-it-has-Dagmars fiberglass front ends that fake 50s diners insist on hanging on the wall/front of the diner/on top of a large aerial sign.

3) The "wood" appears to be airbrushed on, which is one of the more disturbing trends in car modification today. Sure, it might look good from a distance, but paint is no substitute for three-dimensional objects, regardless of how awesome your shading technique is.

4) This thing just sucks in general. I'm angry at it for making me so angry.

@Impalamino: Hey, hey, relax... have a drink. What's your pleasure. Oh BTW - the glass panels open seperately from the doors incase there's not enough room to open the main doors

@selfhatingotaku: Agreed... My guess is that you and your favorite hand (left or right) and lube will have a solid relationship from here on out. The liquor will only help ease the pain and loneliness ...

@Impalamino: Every time I walked into Toby Keith's restaurant, and I looked up on the wall at the front clip of an old Ford truck, I wondered what he did with the back. Now I know.
