When I first saw this, I thought it must have been a prop from some crazy movie.

But it is real.   :-\  And there were many of them built.

Based on the cars around it, must be late 50's early 60's France tour bus.....

Wonder why the horn on the front of the bus?

Yes. In France.  Follow the link for more information.

No idea about the massive horn.  Maybe the designer liked rhinos?

Haha.   One of the great things about the Internet is you never know which direction something will turn.

I'm sure that those tour buses did not have air conditioning – can you imagine the solar gain coming in through all that glass on a summer day?

Throw is a buss full of French woman that do not shave their armpits nor use deodorant.

This must be where the tradition of men standing and holding the grab handles on public transport came from.
