I found a link that mentions Grampa's monster bus, but the linked picture won't open; it's in the comments on this page

I was wondering how tall he was too. He looks taller than the normal height Bus roof in the back... unless the photo is distorted because it's a photo of a photo

That is Balboa - looking north up Marine Ave, cross street Park Ave, Newport Beach, California.
