A 1973-1991 General Motors Three-Quarter-Ton Pickup Truck located in the Detroit suburb of Warren, Michigan.
This Truck appears to have the Lower-Band Two-Tone Paint Scheme.
Sadly this Truck is in rough shape, and is rusted out.
This Truck also appears to be missing its Hub Caps, and has a late 1960’s-early 1970’s Chevrolet Passenger Car Hub Cap mounted on the front left wheel.

My all-time favorite Automobiles are School Buses, Class 6-8 Trucks, Full-Size Station Wagons, large, Body-On-Frame Luxury Cars like the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and the Lincoln Town Car, Full-Size Pickup Trucks, Chevrolet/GMC Suburbans, Full-Size Vans, Full-Size 2-Door Utility Vehicles like the Chevrolet K-Blazer/2-Door Tahoe, Full-Size Ford Bronco, and the Dodge Ramcharger/Plymouth TrailDuster, European vehicles such as Volkswagens, Audis, Porsches, Mercedes-Benzs, Renaults, Citroens, Peugeots, Fiats, Lancias, and Alfa Romeos; and Japanese vehicles such as the T12/T72 Nissan Auster/Stanza, 810-U11 Nissan Bluebirds, S130, Z31, and Z32 Nissan Fairlady Zs; 230-Y31 Nissan Cedric/Gloria, R31 Nissan Skyline, C32 Nissan Laurel, F30 and F31 Nissan Leopards, E24 Nissan Urvan, A40-ST200 Toyota Carinas (including the Carina ED), X60-X80 Toyota Mark II/Chaser/Cresta, A70 and A80 Toyota Supra, W10-W20 Toyota MR2, A60-T180 Toyota Celica, J50 and J80 Toyota Land Cruisers (excluding the J60), H50-H100 Toyota HiAces, R30 Toyota MasterAce, XR20 Toyota Estima/Previa, BD/BG/BK Subaru Legacy, TF Isuzu Faster, and the UCS55/UCS69GW Isuzu Mu/Wizard/Amigo/Rodeo.

Even though I am not fond of smaller Type A and B School Buses, and I am only fond of the heavier Type C and D School Buses; I am writing this post about this 1994-1995 Blue Bird Mini Bird on the General Motors P-Chassis in the Seattle suburb of Renton, Washington.
I am able to tell that this Blue Bird Mini Bird on the General Motors P-Chassis is a 1994 or 1995 model because in 1994, Blue Bird had switched from the Round Headlights/Headlamps to the Square Headlights/Headlamps; while retaining the older-style Jackknife Entry Door. Beginning in the 1996 model year, Blue Bird would switch from the older-style Jackknife Entry Door to the newer-style Double Out Entry Door.
I, the owner of this very Blog; like and prefer the older-style Jackknife Entry Door on Blue Bird’s School Bus Bodies over the newer-style Jackknife and Double Out Entry Doors.

Good, old-fashioned Automobile sales tactics from the 1940’s and 1950’s; as shown during these Salesperson Training Videos produced by the Jam Handy Company for the Chevrolet and Buick Motor Divisions of General Motors; and the Ford Motor Company.
The most modern Automobile sales tactics that I can tolerate are those from the 1980’s and 1990’s.
I don’t have any tolerance for Automobile sales tactics that have been in place since the beginning of the 21st Century, including making transactions on the Internet; multi-dealer chains for Automaker’s marques of New Cars, for Used Car Lot franchises such as Carvana and Drive Time, and Mobile Device Applications such as Car Gurus.

A Damon (now a part Thor Motorcoach) Class A Motorhome located in the Town of Racine, Ohio (a Town located on the Ohio River, and on the Ohio-West Virginia border) on the General Motors P-Chassis.
In 1998, General Motors had sold the intellectual and design rights to the P-Chassis to Mr. Andrew Taitz, the founder of Workhorse Custom Chassis. Mr. Taitz had also purchased the Step Van Body Division of Grumman in the process of founding Workhorse. The transition of production of the P-Chassis from General Motors to Workhorse was complete by late 1999.
General Motors had also discontinued the Medium-Duty P-12 Chassis (based on the Class 5 GMT530 Medium-Duty Truck, and powered by the Tall-Block, Medium-Duty, and Vortec version of the 454 cubic inch Big Block V8 Engine and the Allison AT-542 Automatic Transmission) shortly after the sale of the intellectual and design rights to the P-Chassis.
Workhorse, in turn; would transfigure the P-12 Chassis into the W-20, W-22, W-24, and W-26 Chassis, based on the GMT560 Medium-Duty Trucks; and powered by the 8.1 liter Big Block V8 Engine, and the Allison 1000, and 2400 Series Automatic Transmissions.

Sadly, someone had molested this Hearse on the GM B-Platform by dressing it in the guide of the Mattel, Incorporated product ‘Barbie’.
