Van Aukens were aftermarket add-ons and the most practical service they performed was building profit on the bottom line of a new car sale. Remember the Landau roofs done in the dealers back room that were so popular with seniors, or the gold package that probably cost the new car buyer so much and cost the dealer so little? Same deal, just an earlier time frame and a different gimmick.
I don't have a photo, but they are easily found on Google.
