#206 – Highway Post Office (HPO) RV Conversion

This photo of #126, which is a 1964 with the “tall windshield” and original livery. It’s good representation of what our 1966 #206 would have looked like.

Initial Service

This 1966 Crown Coach was one of 106 constructed for use as Highway Post Office buses. This unit was one of two delivered to Inter City Transit Co. in North Little Rock, AR in late 1966. 206 delivered mail along a route between Houston and Corpus Christi, TX under contract to the US Postal Service.

Service History

Sometime after its retirement and auction, Campbell, CA bus company owner Fred Wagener purchased it and converted it into a recreational vehicle.  The Wageners added a motorized pull-down rear end that doubles as a ramp or a deck. 

Current status as a recreational vehicle
