More Bedford trucks!
It kept lightly raining on and off during the day, so the sky keeps changing in these shots.

@vwdasher we love a Buffalo bus, don't we folks? Though, if I had my druthers, a Scenicruiser has better lines.

@vwdasher Flxibles are the most collectible, I think, amongst conversion bus fanatics. Some friends bought a very rough 60s Flxible and traveled in it for a year or two.
My favorite bus, and the one I think I'd buy if I were wanting to do a conversion, is the GM PD-4103.
Flxible has the benefit (or negative, depending on your perspective) of being relatively rare, so collectors value them pretty highly. And, there are certainly some gorgeous ones.
