This bus was built to transport oil workers in the Mideast. When delivery was taken at the Wayne factory, the driver surveyed the entrance ramp to I-70 to make sure the bus would navigate it without incident. He then got in the cab and drove nonstop to Baltimore almost 600 miles away where away it was loaded on a ship.

Just was to say a BIG THANK YOU to all those who helped make our 2011 Spring Fling a success! A special thank you to Walter Earl, Tom Mozer, Ken McNelis, John and Ralph Fetrow, Don Barlup, Howard Nice (and thanks for the great-looking Greyhound parked out front), Tom Collins, Jot Bennet, and Sharon and Oliver Ogden! We couldn't have done it without you! Thank you also to the great staff at the Museum for all their help--especially Bob in the Maintenance Department. I hope I didn't miss anyone.

Posting from the floor of the Museum--we are all set up and several of the vendors have shown up to set up their tables--as an extra special bonus, the AACA Museum is hosting a Cruise In tonight and the Museum will be open until 9 am--so any vendors wishing to participate can do so--they are anticipating 500 visitors to the Cruise In.
