Mr. TDM 4512 ◊ 2012-07-18 09:47	This bus must have accidentally crossed through a wormhole from 'Back to the Future'! It's certainly not circa 1930's and I would agree that it's probably either South American or European made from no earlier then the fifties. No OSCAR to the Prop Department on this one!

GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2021-09-27 15:39	I think the bigger question isn't this bus being an anachronism, but rather what is a late-'50s Japanese bus doing in the US? How did it get here and why?
