This is parked in a storagae area in downtown Lakeside Ca. The folks by the storage area only know that its being stored, nothing else. Does this belong to anyone that reads the board?

I think that's one of the RARE general motors caravan buses from the '50's... |

It is a GM - it was badged on the rear. The joints around the top look pretty rough, so I was wondering if it was a "custom" job. The front looks well done though.. |

The main complaint from the drivers back then,was the bubble top was very hot...I think this is a custom/hand made job,somebody trying to copy the G.M. guys...can you imagine what cars look like from the drivers seat?? |

I believe it a homemade project because we at work (GM Tech. Center) would do more streamline design than this. About Twodog mention GM Futurliner..link: http://www.futurliner.com/other.htm For what it's worth. Sojourn for Christ, Jerry |

Tim, its a real clean 3751. I have more pictures of both buses, but its a pain to cut them down to under 20k. I'd be happy to send all 9 pics to anyone with broadband.

Thanks Jim this bus is for sale in the classic bus sale adds on busnuts.com. Nice bus but I don't care for the late model windows my self. But still very nice looking. Of course any old gm silverside to me is pleasing to eye. |

That bubbletop is neat...seems like the perfect thing for some extra living space underneath. |

Tim, I emailed the guy that has the 3751 for sale, thinking he might also own the other one, but alas, he does not. and he does not know anything about it. |

Jim, I've been traveling and am just now reading some of my email. I hope this isn't too late for you to see - was going to email you direct, but couldn't find your email address. I'd like those nine pics you mentioned. Thanks - Garth - garth.c.burt@us.army.mil |
