That is an awesome looking bus!
Adding ribbed bumpers is a nice touch. |

The one above that Western Auto had didn't end up with me. No idea where it was sold to. Also, It was a dove blue panel-camper conversion.

Mr. Troy Smith out of kansas just listed an awesome high taillight 59 mango subhatch. Super roached. Vin is 405124 (Nov, 59). Appears to have a later style front bumper. Not the earliest but still a high taillight mango!
