The Westy looks like Xevin's green beauty.
I'm not sure that this is from an Oregon roadway.
The mountain scape in the background appears to be Half Dome in Yosemite.
Here's the road trip feed.

It is Half Dome in Yosemite. That is the road to Glacier Point.

I spotted this 74-79? bus from the Amtrak a short time after coming out of the Fullerton CA station. On the way back I tried to take a photo, but didn't get the side view. It looks decent, maybe someone would want to sell it?
I found it on Google Earth, maybe I should check it out, although if it's too new, it needs to be smogged in CA every two years and that's no fun.
