Doctor Krieger's Van is a large 1978 GM G-Series conversion van, similar to the Kidnapper's Van except it has a painted mural on the side with the sliding door. The mural is an homage to the band Rush and their Exit...Stage Left album cover.
Inside, Doctor Krieger has a chain steering wheel, two sets of leopard print curtains and heavily tinted black windows. Lana comments on the "illegal-ass window tint" and says the van, "is like rolling probable cause," meaning police officers wouldn't need much of an excuse to pull over and search the van. Malory is embarrassed to be in the van, and calls it the "S.S. Date Rape."[1]
Krieger usually brings his virtual girlfriend into the van, or she has a projector there. He uses the van as a place where they can have privacy.[1][2][3]
Krieger has had multiple vans, with a recurring theme being that Krieger engages in questionable activities to obtain funds to create an ultra-cool van, which is then destroyed, usually because of Archer. They always have names and painted murals based on Rush albums.
The first van was totalled when Katya Kazanova fell on top of it.[1][4]
Added by Taint MaggotIn the season 3 finale, "Space Race: Part II", Krieger's third van borrows its name, "Caress of Krieger," and appearance from the Rush album Caress of Steel. At least part of this was apparently financed by selling access to Lana's medical records and information, and telling Barry that Archer was on the International Space Station. Apparently this particular van provided some method for Krieger to have sex with his virtual girlfriend, because they enter the van after he shows it off to her and it begins rocking.[3]
In the season 4 episode, The Wind Cries Mary, another van of Krieger's is shown in a flashback as a weapon distribution center (yet another way he funds projects like his van). It is an homage to the Rush album Fly by Night, and aptly named "Van by Night".[5] Krieger's van has not ben seen outside of this flashback in Season 4, so it is unclear where this van fits in the continuity.
