More Street Shots: From Decomposing Hippie Busses to a Fiat 1100



1940s Reo school bus, converted to motorhome. This bus appears to have been there for many years, and is slowly returning to the earth.


Close-up of Reo bus' front end. Notice that the bonnet has fallen off and the engine has been overtaken by blackberry vines.


Late 60s Chevrolet school bus, also returning to the earth. This bus has evidently been sitting in the same spot since the early 90s, and a pole thicket has grown up around it.


Front of Chevrolet school bus. For the record, I did not trespass onto the property, I just used my camera's zoom lens to take a closer look at the bus.


1961 Volvo 122S Amazon, front view. The originality of this vehicle is impressive, and it would be very well worth restoring.


Volvo Amazon 122S, side view. Notice the PV544-style hubcaps, which are original.


Inside of Volvo Amazon. Restoration is definitely in order, but everything looks good. Notice that the radio opening has not been cut out to install a modern sound system.


Rear view of Volvo Amazon.


Circa-1959 Fiat 1100. This was once a very nice-looking little car, but has suffered gross neglect and even a gunshot to the windshield.
