Futuristic movie-prop bus from 1935
In July, 1935 Modern Mechanix magazine brought this fantastic movie-prop-bus to light -- this is what public transit needs:Link
UNIQUE in design is the multiple-wheeler shown below, which was designed for a film now being made at the Paramount studios. The 36-passenger vehicle is operated by a driver who sits in a glass-enclosed crow’s nest jutting out from the 15-foot roof. The road liner has an oddly-shaped tail fin which extends high over the rear observation platform. The bus has four rear wheels and a circular vent in front in order to cool the radiator.
