Added to Fun Fleet
This bus was purchased from a private party. While driving down Highway 74 in Perris, I noticed two fishbowls parked along the road. I inquired about them and the party wanted to sell them because they were non-operational. So I bought thema nd towed them 1 mile to my yard. repaired the engine in #5441 and it ran well for many years.
When and Where did it go?
I sold Fun Fleet bus #5441 to a tow company in New Jersey who did movie work. It was loaded on a trailer and shipped back to New Jersey. Later it was painted in New York City colors for a movie.
This bus was used in a short film - "The Bus Stops Here" - and was filmed in my yard in Perris.
