Four Arcade Busses
I recently wrote about cast iron toys that were similar in size and shape but different in their exterior finish. As I was searching for something to write about I came across a current Bertoia Auctions auction, where there were a group of nice cast iron Arcade busses. The arrangement of the busses on this page are by year, with the later busses starting from top to bottom.
Arcade GMC Coast to Coast Bus
Rare red and cream collars, "Coast to Coast GMC" stencilled on roof.
Ex. Donald Kaufman Collection

Arcade Greyhound Bus
