All aboard for a genuine piece of vintage Hot Wheels transportation history!
This Hot Wheels Greyhound Americruiser is a substantial six-wheel die-cast bus featuring the classic Greyhound red, white and blue livery, cream upper body, silver lower body, dark windows and distinctive rooftop window/skylight.
The sides retain recognizable GREYHOUND and AMERICRUISER graphics along with the iconic running Greyhound imagery.
This example is definitely a survivor. It shows extensive evidence of childhood play, with plenty of paint loss, scratches, scuffs and worn graphics. Rather than hiding its age, this old coach wears it proudly.
The underside is marked HOT WHEELS® and © Mattel, Inc. 1979 / Hong Kong.

HUMOROUS DESCRIPTION
This Greyhound has clearly missed the express lane a few times.
It’s got enough miles on its imaginary odometer to have driven coast-to-coast, picked up passengers in every state and probably survived at least one spectacular crash off the edge of a coffee table.
The paint may be tired, but this old coach isn’t ready for retirement.
Next stop: somebody’s Hot Wheels collection.
