Wow. I wonder if this could be largest gathering of split buses outside of factory parking lots/shipping areas and today's VW gatherings?

I count 35, which doesn't sound impressive, but sure looks impressive in this picture.

It's all smoke and mirrors.
First one has a rack. Second one has, at least, 21 windows. |

| In the black and white Single Cab photo everything is brick including the ground. The color Single Cab photo is the prototype child's seat. Later it was proven to be unsupervised so they moved it inside. |

i wonder what exactly they put up front. Looks like a building contractor, maybe they put some bricks up front to balance it better?

Perhaps a heavy water pump or plate compactor, that would be a much lower lift than up onto the back deck.
