Fellows:

This truly bizarre-looking sightseeing bus was briefly seen during the opening credits of the 1965 comedy, "BOEING, BOEING", which was filmed in Paris.

To say this bus was certainly NOT your average sightseeing coach would be, perhaps, the greatest understatement of all time! Shocked

(IMHO, it looks as though this strange-looking vehicle was spliced together from an early 60's Euro sightseeing bus an a aerial tramway gondola!)

Judge for yourself, if you will....... Rolling Eyes

Lots of strange buses, some real, some fake.... including the GX-1 Highway Traveler, a Super Golden Eagle artic., a Pickwick Duplex, and other historic coaches. The weird contraptions built by the Twelve Tribes cult are real!

Can you imagine driving that triple-decker in a strong cross-wind? Yikes...
