A couple of vintage photos from the area where I grew up, albeit a good amount of time before I was born.
I'm born in 76', these is taken from a 1960 Calendra, which means they probl was taken in 59' or so...

Apologies if someone has posted this before, but this picture is for sale on ebay at the moment. I thought it was a cool conversion...
Origin of the Jersey look? And check out the flared wheel arches at the front

That logo on the front of the bus. Where have I seen it before? I've looked and have come close, but I can't seem to match it up.

I thought it looked like a Detroit Red Wings logo, but the wing part is not right...seems a speck off. There is also some writing on the long panel under the windows, but it is too blown out to read.
Maybe someone from the East will recognize it?

Pan Am loves buses. Anyone else think the letter on the bus says "Pan American World Airways"
