I am thinking about purchasing an HHR panel for my personal training facility. Mainly for graphics display, but I have always like the retro look of the vehicle. We need something to haul things to events and our manager would drive it daily.

We need one in white and there are not a whole lot of these panel vans around. One question I can not seem to get an answer to is if there is a fold up back seat in this van. I have seen yes and no answers. I would like our manager to be able to use it with his kids and family when he needs to.

Thanks in advance for your input.

 

Rear seats have to be added to the panel... From the factory all panels were a two seater. (front seats only) Adding the rear seats is a simple bolt in procedure and was a popular modification.

 

The Panel (no windows in doors or back) has no rear seat, just cargo floor. The AA5 (no quarter windows) has fold down rear seats. The standard has a fold down rear seat. In addition, the passenger seat folds down flush with the rear for those 9 foot loads.

So, the answer is yes and no.

Most of the AA5s came in white (for advertising space). Many Panels came white.

 

Don. 19 ft loads ?
( guessing that was an "oopsie" keyboard moment )

 

I had originally put 10, then reconsidered, poorly.

 

Getting harder to find good low mile units. Mine is one of only 266, it is the 2LT version. (most loaded up panel) .. & The SS Panel is rarer yet.

 

just got into a panel a week ago myself and absolutly love it. This just came up on craigslist north of me, rare AA5 SS

i am considering doing the rear seat conversion on my panel but truth be told i dont think i'd wanna ride back there and it may expose you to some major liability issues if you do the conversion and make it avaliable for someone else to use. I would think an AA5 would be your best bet.

 

That's one of the reasons I want my Panel to remain a 2 seater. Plus I like the storage bins under the floor.

 

I've had my panel round 5 yrs now., I got it to use for my a/c business I was running, the storage bins were one of the reason I wanted it and gas mileage. I have since gotten out of the business and just enjoy riding it around and getting looks
