Some people know the Mystery Machine and others do not. The Mystery Machine is a van used for the characters in Scooby Doo. The mystery machine has its mysteries. One big mystery is what kind of van it is. Some say it’s a Corvair Van, VW or even a Ford Econoline. This groovy van has a trippy floral pattern on it and big bubble letters; it embodies the 1960s. This makes sense, because the cartoon first debuted in 1969, when everything was hippyfied.

Scooby Doo and the gang drive around in this van on a mission to find ghosts and other ghouls. The van comes in handy for catching criminals!

The characters in this show refer to themselves as the gang, the mystery gang! They find out the real truth behind the mysteries, and catch who was involved in the crime. After getting caught by the mystery gang, the criminals always say, “I would have gotten away with it too, it if wasn’t for you meddling kids!” Zoinks! You should get going so you can catch your own ghosts and ghouls too!
