I must say that L& O is my favorite TV show (haven't misssed many of the
episodes in 9 years) and it doesn't matter which babe they plug in as Sam
watterson's gopher, they all rule!!  Now for the bus content.  The bus they
pulled out of the Hudson was definitely a pre 68; ands in reviewing the
videotape, it was hard to tell whether it had clear or amber turn signals.
The photo the victim's brother showed the police appeared to have clear turn
signals mounted above the headlights(consistent with the wreck they pulled
out of the river.  I'm no charter  SOTO member or expert(although I owned a
cherry 1960 transporter as a kid),v but I thought the upper turn signals
were all amber.  I also thought I saw some mud caked over the built in
backup lights over the rear lights, but that was pretty fuzzy.  that would
lean it to be a 67, but it was definitely a split winshield.  Complete with
peace sign key chain emblem in the ignition.

Imagine NBC calling your local junkyard looking for such a beast and then
trying to make it look like it had been under the river for 25+ years.  BTW,
cancer had gotten the best of the lower panels.  I hope the props dept.
didn't spend an arm and a leg on this puppy.

Maybe I've "shared too much" on the topic.  Us loonies need to find work you
know.  I specialize in making synthetic hairballs for ceramic cats.  Special
price for list members.
