Those Plymouths belonged to Mitch of Mitch's Surf Shop. You could always tell where he went out by them. |

Steven Spielberg at a showing of his movie Firelight, 1964, Phoenix, AZ
Looks like a Sand Green / Palm Green Bus in the background
Bus close up (a little bit larger)
I believe I see a later rear bumper and a weird steel? front bumper there.
Driving lights too

Oh, what a wonderful world.
Back in the '70's when we were driving to Grandma's house we'd play our version of Punch Buggy. We'd each pick a color and count the beetles we saw. It was a 10 hour drive, and one time I counted over 300 white bugs. Between my Dad, sister, and myself, we counted over 600 beetles of only three colors. They were EVERYWHERE! Buses, not so much.

maybe. He does look like a snotty little derelict. But weren't we all at one time?

I had a '66 Dodge Sportsman van and it had an AC unit on top, just like that.
