That was awesome (not the movie) but the scenes with the bus! I fast forwarded to only the bus scenes, ya know, like you did as a kid watching R rated movies looking for the nude scenes..

Exactly. That bus got some serious play as well. What year was it? 68, 69 or 70?

I "think" the reflector lense behind the front door is round which makes it a 68-69? I'm not sure how to tell the difference between a 68-69 from the exterior.

Door handles, wiper arms and dash eyebrow are the first things I look for.

Kids were watching cartoons (teenage mutant Ninja turtles)and my 4 year old daughter tells me she saw a bus. She wasn't kidding.

Did anybody see this flash by in last nights Super Bowl? It looks like a split window caricature. Does anybody know what it is? More pics?

I think this counts for this thread:
I rented my '77 bus to a filmmaker who used it in a short, silent film. The movie is what the movie is and I'm not an "art" movie guy much anyway, but it's cool to see my bus shot so professionally.

Obviously someone working on the film, The Presidio, owned a Bus because it's in two different shots set in two different locations:
I was surprised to see one in Kill the Irishmen since the movie was dominated by large, slow moving Caddys and Lincolns:

I almost missed seeing it in your still. I for sure would have missed it in a video.

The scenes were over before they began. Thank goodness for pause and frame-by-frame advance.

Okay this is not a movie sighting, but where else should I put it? It's a real estate photo from Portland OR house listing that references the glass garage in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, only different...
