there's one of those old Brewster Transport buses in the Comox Valley, was a running conversion but totally trashed by vandals sometime back, every side window and most of the top ones broken, not much useable now from weather exposure  :(

Paso - was that your silver 47, "Ramblin Fever", someone spotted and sent me pics of from Ariz/Mexico last winter? Sask plates

I know a couple from BC with a 1950 MCI that looks very much like it. It is converted and they spend a lot of time in it. Their card is in the bus, I should look it up.

Amazing how much it looks like a Crown-especially the rear of the bus.  Good Luck, TomC

When your "into " antiques  you earn another  smack on the side of the head before you buy :) makes all the difference in the world.

Somebody has to keep History on the road.

Thanks to Dallas and his sharpe eye ( e bay)  I was able to get mine within 10 miles of home. Also paid a lot less and drove her home.
