Now that you've said that, it really does! :lol:

I wanna see pics with it all opened up and stuff (looks like it has a few compartments) and interior too.... then we'll know if it's a real Big Red Bus. :P

That thing is huge, the size of a coach. There is a web page about it's resto somewhere. EDIT: bugeyedbabe beat me to it!

Haha. Well I guess it isn't a model, but it sure looks too good to be true in that photo! Looks like it would be quite odd to drive.

Wow... I didn't think it was very old! But the website shows otherwise.

You'd feel like the pilot of a plane, driving from up in that 'cockpit'... :P

man that is awesome, ultimate mobile display unit :cool:

There is something wonderful about 1950s styles. That is an excellent example of a stylistic hangover from the Art Deco of the 1930s. If something like that was made today it would probably be a mobile glass house or a boring clone of something else. I know one thing though. If I was driving that from that cockpit, I would go under railway bridges very slowly.
