Unusual bus designs

Say hello to my 6 thousand and 5 hundredth post! The above is most interesting design, imagine seeing the bottom section turn, independant of the bus

Cars make great fertilizer, who says you can't love jalopies and be a tree hugger? Your jalopy is a tree hugger! Here's picture proof

My cool meter pegged when I saw this old late 20's early 30's bus.

Caradisiac... lots of interesting trucks to find there

This looks like something from the 1910's or 20's that had a crane mounted on the back decades after the truck was made

WW2 military Dodge Power Wagon that was made into a fire company auxillary vehicle

What happened to bury this 1950 VW 213 van will always be a mystery, but someone with a shovel and determination is restoring it!

I think the word BURIED describes it accurately

full gallery and story : http://www.ssvc.org.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=35155 thanks to Chris who read all the 61 pages of thread, and summarized the story for us

how the bus got buried:

In a nutshell, a guy had his kid bury it in the late ’50s or early ’60s so they could have a hunting shack in the woods. The guy who found it also found the ‘kid’ who buried it, only now the kid is an old man. The restorer is English but on a run through northern Europe ( Sweden ?) he stopped by and showed the bus off to the guy who buried it. It was good timing, too; the guy who buried it died recently.

The current owner also took it to the site where the lumber mill stood that owned it first. He then took it to Kempes. The current owners didn’t know anything about the bus but they were pretty thrilled that the current owner came by with it to tell the story. The employees gave him some older (but not period) Kempes coveralls and goodies.

1957 Deluxe VW 23 window bus pulled from a lake in Norway after 36 years submerged... Is it this hard for people to find a VW Deluxe bus?

And here is a photo from before it went into the water in 1973 because the transmission broke, it was the fastest easiest way to get rid of the bus.

Thanks to Gary for the link to the story!

the Humboldt Wholesale bus... with the funky cool paint, and the VW kombi grafted to the roof

Cool paint style, and I love that the colors and designs start on the VW and flow down onto the bus.
