VintageBus.com Image Gallery - Rare Buses and Parts

Pix of rare cars, parts, and accessories. I tend to be fairly conservative as to what is considered "rare," as the term is very overused.

Look, no cooling vents ... Here's another cooling system for single cabs in dusty climates. Unlike the Aus system of scooping air above the windscreens and ducting it under the load bed to the engine compartment, this sytem features "ear" scoops each side of the cab, with similar ducting under the load bed to the engine. Note how two cab rear panels have been used back-to-back to make a hollow duct for the cooling air. I have only seen this system on two pick-ups, both assembled in South Africa and both 1967 models. I don't know when single cabs were first assembled in SA, but earlier models were imported fully built up.

Just arrived at new home Just arrived at new home
Dave Dixon
Towed 35 miles from Big Sur to her new home in Pacific Grove. Has no engine yet. Has not run in over a year. No brakes yet. She is a 57 kombi/panel combination double door. Her original color was the stock blue grey, which is what I aim to return her to. She is lowered a little in the front. steering is not that bad. transmission apparently OK.

Old gas pump and sideloader
The Elephant Motel (1848) has a cool bar-restaurant that is only open when the owners want to be open. There is no waitresses, bartender or cooks. Its cook/serve/clean-up yourself and give what you want. The gas pump is only in 1 gal increments and has no price dial, I'd say it is pre 1920's. The couple that owns it are good timers.
