I clicked on the other pictures several times before I realized I was clicking on a screenshot.
I've always wanted a bus about like that. I have zero justification for something like that and would probably be shot....but, It would make a good camper so I would have a place to sleep.

That looks like a 51 hood though.
I wonder if that would have widowmakers on it?
Almost complete? Man that would be a ton of work to get going.

Wonder where you would get a front windshield for it. Looks like both sides are missing.

I see those buses all over on properties outside of town. Here is one near me that has been sitting for decades... I think that I would lean towards a more modern platform if I wanted to build a camper/motorhome. Always liked the vista cruiser buses.

There's got to be a few places that will custom fabricate the needed glass.

A quick search found this place:

Must be bus season! Saw this 1939 Ford on Craigslist and thought it looked neat. Asking $3500
