One of those Future Liners sold at Barret Jackson a couple of years ago... That would really be something to see one of those on the road!

No, I've seen other buses that are driven from a similar front lower level. Puts the side window closer to the "you want fries with that?" clerk.

I'm still DREAMING you drive from the observation deck. That's the only place the rear view mirrors are attached, and the vision through the lower deck would be like this { }

I remember seeing a little info once on the bus-thingie in the OP. Apparently it's homegrown, built from mostly car parts, and the steering is a terrifying bicycle-chain sort of lashup. However, it certainly has, um, charm.

Is that chained upstairs to the observation deck? I wonder if it has a bowling alley? Anyone remember "THE BIG BUS?"

Whoever gets that one will most likely spend more time under it repairing it than they will spend in the thing enjoying it.
