A Sunnyside/Superior Chinese made diecast of a GM(?) old look city bus with working doors. Pull-back action sets the bus in motion. Destination sign reads, "Western Castle." Side of bus reads, "Classic Transporter - No. NY289-873.

Doesn't hold a candle to the Corgi's, but one can never have too many toy buses in one's collection.

Does anybody know who makes the Western Castle bus?

I would love to have a supplier so we can hand out these out at our Bus Roadeo to the operators who compete and the judges who work.

I know where I can buy them but not where I can get one in Rose City colors(TriMet's ancestor)

I would also be interested in buses from the mid 70's forward that can be painted in TriMet colors.

I have two Sunnyside/Superior busses. One is SS 9853. It is the yellow Clasic Transporter Transporter with a black roof. The other one isss9853, a 1869 Commercials International Group. The body is Pea-Green with a brown top and a brown lower quarter panel. Does anyone know about these busses? I also have a Corgi #98461 thet is missing the passenger side mirror. Ayone know where I can get morrors for Corgi Busses?
