Can anyone tell me about this bus?
« on: January 13, 2009, 06:38:51 AM »
Any one ever seen this streamline version? Any information?
A store front sign “TRANSATLANTICO” (above the bus) appear to be in the early 1930’s.

I think if I had the streamlined one, it would have to have a periscope......

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

I'm impressed by the incredible skill it must take to drive the "bus train" through city streets.

One of the bus train videos reminded me of "crack the whip."  Driver in the first section thinks he's all the way through the turn, hits the accelerator, and sends the little old lady in the third section flying.

It'd be a great addition to the Bob Newhart Bus Driver Instructor routine.
