It's definitley not a Flxible VL-100 Nor is it a Beck Decka nd a half.

My input: Some third World Knock Off

It's Mexican...

There was a thread some time ago on either here or Maks board which included pictures.

It's a mexican version (stylized) Scenicruiser copy.

UGLY

That's what it is alright! & it can't all be blamed on the camera angle either.


But, then again, my opinion may be biased. :-)

You don't suppose the tear-drop windows might fit a 4501, do you? I seem to remember driving over one of mine a while back . . . . . . . .

Well, if JLV took the picture, he should be able to ID the bus.

Hey, JLV - where are you?

My guess is a Dina. . .

The photo was taken at Conroe,Texas many years ago.
On the corner of South Main and Mill street.
The bus was a Mexican Sultana and If I remember right it was only 35 feet long.

I like it!! Think if somebody is going to raise the roof,that's the way to do it ,no front cap needed,the driver doesn't need anymore height,
