That looks like the type of thing they did at Yellowstone and some of the other national park lodges.

That's an incredible piece of coach building craftsmanship. I'd love to know the story on that one.

From what I could find on the net Limbergh was a bus line in Holland. I found a color picture of an older Limbergh bus and used the colors for this bus.



If we could find one of these I say we all pitch in, buy it, import it to the states, restore it and use it as a traveling Truckstock bus to take members to events all around the country

There had to be a lot of coachwork done on those. I love the trim and the way they reworked the front fenders, kind of looks like an old Nash. I wonder how they were able to turn the front wheels, the front tire looks like the tires would rub.

I just love the Christine comparison. That thing does look a little Plymouthy
Kinda. And Fordish also don't it? And the other two are so cool as well.
Where ya finding these cool rides bud?
I am luvin it. Keep them coming.

Now if that Econoline 3/4 ton 5th wheel thing was 4X4 that would be
a very universal truck. It's got lots of room and weight in the right
places to get the job done. So cool.
