My 59 church logo'd bus. It's a mango under the church paint. Just back from a trip. Sacramento to Seattle to Banff to Montana Rainbow Gathering and back to Sac. Now fall camping at Silver Lake, CA. 1976 Like father, like son. And that's his canoe.

July 1966 That's dad on 59th st at Fruitridge in Sacramento. This is probably the last family photo of the 1960 Deluxe Micro Bus. Purchased new in Tokyo, Japan. About to be sold to our mailman before dad went to Niello and purchased a brand new 1966 Titian Red Deluxe walk through Micro Bus. Like father, like son.

love the pictures. FYI the color is called Titian Red, after the artist Titian.

A six year old bus, and the deluxe trim molding is already clapped out.
Makes you realize how rare it is for a nice bus to survive to present day.

Does the summer of 1994 count as vintage?

It's over 25 years ago, so I think it does.
