Great project! Wonder if he’s got a title? Pretty sure it’s a 55 or at least the grill is.

Very cool. Saving for posterity. Although it may not go very far, very fast.

1952 (I THINK) FORD B600 BUS. I'VE OWNED THIS BUS FOR THIRTY YEARS. IT RAN AND DROVE WHEN I BOUGHT IT. HAVEN'T TRIED IT IN A LONG TIME. COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL V8. WOULD MAKE A COOL CAMPER, FOOD TRUCK, CAR HAULER. WHERE WOULD YOU FIND ANOTHER LIKE IT ? $2000. OR B.O









Where would you find another one of these emblems?

The B600 hood emblems would look cool on my garage wall collection.

I know I'm getting old when I look at something like this and all I see is work.

He's probably cruising around the country camping! And apparently with no problems or he would have been asking us!

Notice that the kid in the front row has a shirt that doesn't match the rest of the guys. I'll guess that like any other kid, he spilled something on it or got mud or grease on the uniform shirt the morning of his photo day. His Mom said "Look at you - what did you do to that nice shirt??" "I was working on the bus engine with Charlie" "You're not wearing that!". "But Mom, it has to be this one!" "I don't care, you wear your father's white shirt and that is the end of the discussion!"
"But it's too big, and it has girly-looking designs on it!"
'WEAR IT!"
"But,Mom...."
<stern Mom glare>



Great photo find, E-Man!!!
