Any vintage Suburban owners out there?

Since it was a school bus in a previous life, why not paint it back in school bus colors? Uhh, no, not the yellow/black combo, the bus builders would paint school busses in different color combos when they were going to other than school use. Medium green stripes on a very light green body was popular, light blue with dark blue stripes, or white with light and dark blue stripes would all look good on that truck.

We happened to be on RF Dials site last night looking at floor plans for a friend who's thinking of purchasing a gutted Flying Cloud, and in the 1957 grouping there's a Flying Cloud (I think S/N 8132?) the second one under 1957, that is shown with a mid sixties Suburban. Yellow. Very nice combination. I'll bet that pair get a lot of attention when traveling down the road and in campgrounds. The pale yellow really sits nicely with the polished aluminum.
