Pete Davidson Unveils Custom 'Dad Van' as Charity Auction Launches for Fallen First Responder Families

The eBay Built to Spec project channels his first-time fatherhood into support for Answer the Call, the nonprofit that helped his family after his firefighter father died on 9/11.

Overview

  • Davidson, who is expecting his first child with Elsie Hewitt, says he is excited and nervous, with preparations underway including a nursery and even removing an indoor pool.
  • A second minivan inspired by his build is being auctioned on eBay through Dec. 19 at ebay.com/petedavidson, with eBay matching the winning bid up to $50,000 for Answer the Call.
  • The custom Honda Odyssey features a changing station, mini fridge, baby bottle warmer, handheld vacuum, retractable awning, cargo box, and a vintage VHS setup, plus performance upgrades.
  • Builder Tony Angelo and the Stay Tuned crew collaborated with Davidson on the design as part of eBay’s new Built to Spec series.
  • The couple has not finalized a name and says they favor a conventional "Staten Island normal" first name with a potentially playful middle name.
