I picked this up a few weeks ago and wondered if anyone has ever heard of this bus. A long shot I know but worth a try.

The original owner of the Shamrock Inn sold the place about 10 years ago. If you can find the original owner of the Inn, you may be able to find the bus. The hunt begins

Update: The original owner sold it to the Cloverleaf Inc. back in 1974. This just sounds like fun so I think I may head up to Placerville and check out the records on this.

LOL. I just thought with a little provinance I could finally use "ASK" when I post the card in the classifieds!
I'd rather find the mango sunroff I have on another postcard from the same area.

When's the last time you used $10 in gas driving a bus? 1982?
