I love the truck-bus. And - sincerely - not to be nitpicky, but instead to learn other's thoughts - but other than, maybe, a bit in the paint scheme and grill, I don't see much that's Art Deco here. I just see a very cool '30s truck-bus. Thoughts?

Yeah, I was posting it mainly for the bus-trailer aspect...it's not as "artsy", as much as it is streamlined.

I stumbled on this gem today, but kinda think it might already have been posted in this thread somewhere:

There was a truck drawn bus at the Illinois State Fair in the early-mid 70's that I remember seeing. It looked like a Greyhound bus of the period without a driver's station. Only one I've ever seen in person.

Dad looks a lot happier with his new contraption than mom and baby girl do.

I'm with mom and baby girl. I'd love to have the opportunity to drive most of the vehicles seen in this thread around the block once or twice, but that one? Maybe in a closed-off and completely empty parking lot; it just doesn't look particularly well constructed.

Maybe we should also add "Streamline Moderne" to the thread title, as I'm finding lots of these types of photos, lol.

Think we've seen both of these before, but if not, too good not to post:

Yep I posted both of those ( among many others ) FF that are now in Photobucket waste land. So keep posting photos. I doubt if any of my photos will ever appear again and as far as I know there is no way to retrieve them.

Somebody in a decision-making capacity at Labatt's liked quirky Art Deco trucks.

enjoyable read - and even explains the different generations as we can see in the above posts.
