OK ... not a great hat photo, but I used to have a bus like this (mine was a '35 -- this is a '38).

The image was linked to a site called "datehookup.com" so I didn't follow up with further investigation.

No wonder that monkey is looking so affectionate.

I'll bet every one of those thin-ribbons is a Resistol! Dolly Parton and Porter Waggoner being welcomed to the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, 1970.

Some great high res scans. I recommend visiting the links and zooming in for great close-up views of the many hats.

I like the guy up in the second floor window on the third one! Photobomb?

My wife's recently purchased vintage Stratoliner came from this store (A. J. Bundschu in Independence, Missouri). Do you see it out there?
