Mini Department of Corrections bus

[Leftyclick]

As some of you may have seen in the conversion forum, my wife and I purchased a 1989 Ford B700 that was used as an Alabama Department of Corrections bus. One day when I was goofing off, I was surprised to find that Hot Wheels made a 1988 Ford Police bus! Of course, I had to have one. I found the one pictured below that was pretty beat up, so I decided to make it match. My wife thinks I'm silly, but I thought it was a fun little project.

For sure! I think to get the proportions right I would have to put something like 36's on my real bus to make it match. lol

Love it......

I have giving away ALL of my Christmas decorations except a few that reflect important landmarks and situations in our lives together and I DO WANT A BUS to hang off of our tree. I WILL have a mini tree in our bus come Christmas time. This is just fabulous to know that I can eventually hang me up a replica of our home on wheels.

Does anyone else have ideas on how or where to get mini's of our buses?

Check ebay. There are several different buses that were used by toy company's. It seems like International buses are probably the most popular.
