CYW 255 Original Tour Bus (Replica)

The historical yellow tour buses were used in Yellowstone National Park during the 1930's providing tours throughout the Park until the mid-1960's.  In 2006, the vehicles were refurbished to meet modern safety and mechanical standards and in 2007, Xanterra (the park’s concessioner) returned the buses to service in the park.  They also added basic amenities like heaters.  The bodies sit on 2007 Ford E450 van frames and motors, but the exteriors of the 13-passenger vehicles maintain their original appearance.  Regularly scheduled themed tours depart from Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, and Lake Hotel from late May to October.
