I'm not sure what year this is (if anyone knows say so) but I estimate it's late 1930's to mid 1940's. It's been on my grandpa's farm, sitting in a field for as long as i can remember. It's been fixed up inside as a camper bus long before I was ever born.

I've always thought it was a great bus and had a lot of character so a few years ago I took some pictures (At the beginning of my photography obsession) but I've always thought this old guy needed to be seen...he's a classic.

As I said, these were early shots so they won't be technically great, but the bus is a great subject and I thought it needed to be shared.

Thanks for looking

#4 is my favorite, though I think color would suit it better. I like it because there are no modern distractions in the background. #3 would be perfect if not for the camper and dumpster that draws attention away from the very cool old buss.

Here's the thing, these were taken before I even knew what Photoshop was so the conversion was done in camera...I know, better than that now.....

Thanks for all the comments....
