Here is a model of the White Motor Company open-top bus from 1936. This bus could open up and get great views so it was used in National Parks, like Yellowstone. 

This is a really nice replica, although I believe it is actually in 1/48 scale. I think other colors and park location were done, too.

My wife and I rode in one of these about fifty years ago in Yellowstone. I believe the driver told us that it had a diesel motor in it replacing the original gas motor.

The real deal. The White Yellowstone bus. I took the photo in 2019. I have the 1/48 red model of the Glacier National Park bus.

That looks great ! It is remarkable they are still in service after so many years and they have undergone upgrading/re-engining to a more repairable/sustainable condition.
