16th scale 1955 scenicruser.....sneak peek


Recommended Posts

In 1956, my high school band from Bellingham, Washington was selected to march in the Rose Bowl Parade on New Years Day 1957. It was a great 13 day trip but most of all we had 3 Scenicruiser busses. They were running from Chicago to Los Angeles at the time as they were brand new but my dad worked for Greyhound and made a deal to get the 3 busses for our trip. Had to be a great PR item as Bellingham is near the Canadian border and no one north of LA had seen these.. Still a very vivid memory for me.

Good luck with your model.

My Dad was a bus mechanic after he retired from the Navy (1964) . I remember seeing those coaches as a young boy and still remember how magnificent they looked. So clean and lots of shiny on them.

This is some spectacular work, looking forward to seeing more of it.
