I don't know, Ralphie-boy "brives a dus" (homina-homina) for the (fictional) Gotham Bus Company...

Huge Honeymooners fan here, I know every line of the "Classic 39"!

@moe-parr I'm sure this group can offer many Honeymooner quotes. It would be a mere bag of shells!

Fabulous diorama, right down to the litter.   And a similiar version of this "early look" GM bus was done as the Rosa Parks bus, a TDH 3714..

This bus is likely a circa 1952 GM TDH-3612.   The H standing for hydraulic transmission for the transversely rear mounted Detroit 6-71 diesel.

Yep, he won the Safety Award for being the safest bus driver of the year with that bus!

Ya know that sign in the post office that says "The mail gets through no matter what kind of weather"? Ya know why? BECAUSE THE MAILMAN RIDES WITH ME, THAT'S WHY!
