I am going to check it out on Sunday. I need it like I need a hole in my head, but it's just so different from the usual baywindows that I think I want it?

Re: Humboldt 78 Landmark conversion
Good luck! If it still has the completely '70s American interior, make sure to post a pic!

Re: Humboldt 78 Landmark conversion
It’s so wrong in so many ways that it’s right. The headliner, pinstriping, wheels, seats, spare tire mount - and center row captains chairs. Chrome bumpers and chrome overriders ? Checks a lot of the right boxes for me. Heh.

Re: Humboldt 78 Landmark conversion
What happened with this? The original review of the Landmark conversion was that it was undriveable if you were over 5'7"

Re: Humboldt 78 Landmark conversion
There's some funky issues with the title that is scaring people away. I saw the quilted headliner, but it didn't *look* as though it was sticking down further than normal - but that would put me off big time.
It's just so different that I believe it's worth saving, but by someone else. =)

The pimpmobile headliner was only part of the recipe for lousy headroom. In the review, the seat was some American over-stuffed ergonomic catastrophe that sat you up too high. The original late model buses (74-on up) had already elevated the driver/passenger to "almost-too-high". Yeah, so good luck bus, hope you find a home.
