Seems like this summer in Spokane would be a good time for a Wild Westerner gathering.



Who wants to go?

The buses with that paint scheme in this pic look like they have type 1 motors? It looks like they have no rear side marker lights - I am thinking they're probably for European delivery.

Those are 72 bus models being put together. They have the following:

1. Gas fill lid

2. Late model tail light assemblies

3. Larger air intake vents

Likely destined for the European market.

73 buses had all of those features, too. Like this one stolen form the gallery...

I just made arrangements to buy one! My friend is picking it up from the seller in Oregon and going to store it at her home near Seattle until I can get there to retrieve it sometime this summer.

If some sort of gathering was planned, I'd certainly consider timing my trip to coincide.
