This last week in December 2008 we attended Bussin’ 2009 in Arcadia, Florida and enjoyed seeing some of the conversions that had been accomplished on a variety of older coaches. We had heard about from two sources …..the first from my friend Art whose son Chris and his wife have become “Busnuts” as indicated by their personalized license below….and secondly from a camper across the way from us who had an old bus called “Bubba’s old Hound” (a former greyhound bus that had been converted.
Actually, they are in business providing a source for buses and bus parts for older GMC coaches to all those that spend time restoring them. You can check their website if interested at www.gmbusguy.com
Below are a few pictures of the gathering and one particular bus that was over 50 years old that is now like new. It was a 1955 scenic cruiser that has been totally rebuilt….nice!
There were even some more modern bus conversions….some that were converted to haul entertainers around that were unique a series of bunks instead of the usual kitchen and living area arrangements.
Last but not least on display was an old Cushman scooter from the early 50’s that brought back memories.
