The model was a gift to my father from his parents at the Century of Progress. He played with the bus as a child and it's been in storage ever since. The paint job of medium blue and cream is original with only relatively mild wear and tear. The white rubber wheels are in good shape with only minor cracking and chipping. on this piece of history from the Chicago 1933 Century of Progress; the pictures show it all!
