    In 1973 we bought a 10 yr old Bluebird bus and converted it into a camper for our family of 7. We all had a say in its configuration, and all of us worked on it. We took 6 weeks to drive it from Ontario right our to Vancouver Island and back, stopping at Calgary for the Stampede and Edmonton for Klondike Days. It held up pretty well (though we did have a couple of hairpin turns that were too sharp and we had to back down!). We painted it white and called it The White Elephant. Best family vacation ever!

    Great video!! I love those classic cars. I noticed that King Midget in your tour of the show. They were built in Athens, Ohio , USA. That's was about a 20 minute drive from my home. A good friend of the family was an assembly, mechanic for the company. A good friend of mine , when he was youg was a test driver. There was a very steep hill in Athens that they drove the little cars up. If they succeeded in making it up the hill, it passed the test ,and was ready for sale. I really enjoy your videos, your adventures, and your beautiful family.

    I actually got to ride in a DeLorean in 1990. I worked for a family who were car enthusiasts and collectors. The teenage son in the family to his date to the prom in it. It was trippy. They also had several Shelby mustangs.

    Well...that was a bit of a trip down memory lane. That model bus is the one that carried me to and from junior high school. Fifteen cents each way.
    And a number of my friends had those smaller sporty cars. They weren't classics, then, but just inexpensive beater cars that college students could afford. What a difference 50 or 60 years makes. When I was given a ride in those cars, I never thought to mention that I was riding in a future classic.

    Great video. I love the old cars. Not much the exotic cars but vintage and muscle cars. Saw so many I would love to have there at that show. I loved the truck with the locomotive body and thought that half retored car was very cool. Sadly you don't see very many vintage or muscle cars in the Philippines but there are lots of VW's here.

    I would like a mini bus, no the shorter yellow bird buses, and converted over to a camper. That way I could travel and camp without having to drag a trailer along with me. I mean it’s just me and my two dogs and cat but I think I’d leave one of the dogs homewith the house and the cat and I would take just one dog with me and that would be my medical service animal. I do a little traveling, but where I have a farm and livestock I really can’t go too far away couple hundred miles and back home again in a day or two.😂😂

    Velvet interior was luxurious but smoking cigars in there seems a recipe for disaster, burn holes and smoke stink. Leather was only on the drivers seat in limos back then because it was easy to clean and they didnt have vinyl. I much rather velour but yes harder to clean.
