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

[Keith Webb]

Thanks for sharing this Phil. Interesting news report, although the segue in the middle to an almost completely unrelated story was weird. The script demonstrates the usual media approach of partly informed as to the history. A Chevy first registered in 1939? Hmmmm.

I hope these continue in rural areas of Burma. It was an amazing time warp when I visited in 1977. About half the buses were Fords, few had a driven front axle, although Chev engines were the standard in both types then.
