  2. Well, that's a car roof mounted on the top front of it, looks kind of like a Hudson. And those grilles on the back could be like 50-ish Nash car grilles on their sides.

    I've seen that thing before, have you tried a Google image search?

    We've seen that thing before. Some guy down south built it and it was last seen sitting behind a bar. There was a long thread a while back and I have seen it on other web sites too.

    My brother has two SceniCruisers, #372 and #997, as the local "bus guy" a buddy sent him this photo, it made the round of his contacts with nobody knowing anything......

    There's some pictures on here, don't know what key words would be best for the search. I think it was the htread on campers. It was also in a magazine years ago, I subscribe to a lot , but it might have been Hot Rod.

    That's what I saw too!
     
  9. It was behind a bar in Charlotte,N.C. a bunch of years ago ,not far from the former Charlotte Motor Speedway (Lowes Motor Speedway now)

    I've been inside it and it was in rough shape at that time,,maybe someone in the Charlotte area knows what happened to it. HRP
     
  10. Somebody had access to a junkyard full of '50s cars, a welder, and too much time on his hands.

    The bus chassis may have started as a Flixable or possibly a GM product.

    That would look great restored, sitting in the pits at Bonneville. Bob

    Looks like someone had a lot of time on their hands and maybe a bit of drugs induced inspiration.
