Howard Hughes RKO Bus

Getcha Kleenex boxes on ya feets and move on into the Beverly Hills Hotel kids, 'cuz this here's a real-live Howard Hughes bus, commissioned during his stint at RKO. Designed to be used for the personal relaxation and enjoyment of stars and bigwigs alike, this now-somewhat-dilapidated piece of film history features aircraft seats, a shower, a toilet, A/C, a generator. In short, it's the '40s equivalent of a de-luxe Class-A motorhome. Towed Jeep Wrangler or Cadillac DeVille not included.
