    My parents, my brother, and I lived in a (I think) 1960 school bus converted into a motor home... just without the motor. It looked almost like this...

    I will have to find the old pics to know for sure.

    ?????????What's a motor------------home without a motor?:D Saw many junk yards in the past use buses for storage units. Some of these other bus pictures are beautiful. Make great RV's--with motors!

    Not so vintage bus photos from Daytona Turkey Rod Run. Can't find the bus Lo-Hi, or similarly named with chopped top. [​IMG]

    My dad used to be a bus driver out west. He drove a Blue Bird and picked up all the students who lived on the reservations. He got to take part in a bus rodeo and he came in Second :dancing: . I have his plaque some where all packed up. I know he missed driving a bus and wished he could go back to it.
