Crusty Trucker Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Wonderful old bus! I wouldn't do a single thing to it after making it safe and reliable - not even wash it. Well, maybe the windows. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7th Son Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Man, I grew up with these old monsters in post-war San Francisco. Great memories. The taxi version had a full back seat with folding jump seats behind the driver's seat. Great fun riding through the city as though you had a chauffeur. Didn't cost much more than a matinee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans1965 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 This thing is really really cool. Like a traveler through time. The roof rack, the wooden board in the trunk, the interior, its unbelievable. Should be bought by somebody where these things originally drove. To restore would be a crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
