Speaking Of A Nice Chassis






People at the time wondered if this thing came from outer space, escaped from a Flash Gordon movie, or was some sort of a mirage... but in reality this was a very comfortable tour bus built by Citroen on U55 truck chassis for a Paris tour operator Groupe Cityrama. The fantastic shape was designed by the French coachbuilder Currus - and unleashed upon excited visitors to Paris in 1950

You can read more about these fantastic buses by going HERE. The pictures are larger and show more detail. I had no idea these vehicles even existed. How cool is the Internet?
