End of an era: Myanmar's 'big belly' Chevy buses from WWII face scrap

[Alex van de Wetering]

Thanks for posting this Phil. At first I thought these buses were only built with a CMP as inspiration, as we have seen with trucks in a different country (?), but to my surprise they were actually built on a CMP base, and at least front clip, fenders, grille and bumper were retained without modification.
Sad to see them go......you wonder if they had any spares to keep these truck running for all these years or if they just replaced arts with parts from a later truck or vehicle(?)

although the segue in the middle to an almost completely unrelated story was weird

Now that was strange indeed.....almost if the editor mixed up two stories!
