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!
(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.......
