When Gleen Williams tells us that when he was in college
in New Hampshire (back in the early-mid 80's), traveling back and forth
to his family's home in New Jersey, he always saw the extended Suburbans
that belonged to the Connecticut Limousine Company cruising along Interstate
95. When he first started noticing them they were the original blue
and orange color scheme. Later years they could be seen in their all
white livery. Sadly these land yachts have made way for 12-14 passenger
vans, which Glenn reports surely must be more fuel effieicnt and less
costly to obtain and maintain.
The model in these photos is a stretched Trident Suburban School Bus.
The frame was extended with styrene and the extra doors were donated
from the spare parts/scrap box. The custom decals were created on Microsoft
PowerPoint.
