Aerobus
by Edward Cahoon

What follows is only an extract taken from Episode 1 of the Memoir "Aerobus"....

...there was a California Highway Patrol safety inspection sticker from 1975 on the windshield so the car was at least that old. There was a McClellan Air Force Base sticker on the bumper that expired almost ten years previously. The color of the sticker told me that it had been owned by an enlisted military person. Hopefully it still was because that would give me something in common with the owner and perhaps give me an edge in negotiating a purchase price.

I estimated the car to be twenty-five feet long. That much dirty automobile with flat tires, a smashed window, scratched paint and missing trim elements presented a dreadful sight. Cosmetics aside I could appreciate the beauty and potential in this car.

I have always desired unusual or uncommon vehicles and this certainly qualified as both. I’m one of those people who find unusual vehicles attractive. My personal theory is that most individual vehicle purchases are based on a desire by the buyer to attract attention to themselves. If I’m driving a vehicle to attract attention to myself then an unusual one is as good as an expensive, exotic one...
