Some old-timers

http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/t...s-memory-lane/

Included is a story about the Yellowstone White Buses (featured elsewhere on here) http://www.truckandbusforum.com/gall...hp?i=683&c=6:-
Quote:
in actual fact these 1936 White buses are 2007 Ford trucks.
Between the mid 1930s and the mid 1960s the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming ran a large fleet of these White buses - which were used to transport tourists around the park. But at the grand old age of 40 they were pensioned-off, and sold on. It was the end of an era - or so people thought.
Anyway, a couple of years ago the decision was made to put these yellow icons back on the road, and eight of them were located in Alaska and promptly purchased. The years hadn't been kind to them though, and all needed a serious restoration. More to the point they required totally new running gear in order to comply with modern emissions regulations.
So, what you are looking at here is a 2007 Ford F450 truck with the original restored bus body on the back.

The road transport down memory lane link is great, very nostalgic and full of photos and adverts from days gone.
Makes you feel old.
