Hi all its been a while, here is my 1961 bus I have been working on for about 5yrs on/off, been driving it about now for the last 5 months. Don"t worry I still have the Oval.
Im looking forward to taking pictures with both cars together. I just need to convince the wife to drive one of them..

Is that a jailbar on the back of the seat and does it fold down? I've never seen one like that.

LAGrunthaner:
It looks like a regular Deluxe Bus rear seat luggage bar.
Good question on the fold-down though, if the back seat fold out, does the bar get in the way?

Brochure reference for the bar:

Yes it's a deluxe bar, the table makes the bed, just like a Canterbury. The rear of the seat is locked in and can be released also, if I wish to transport anything to long.
