Walter the Bus

Lake Havasu City, AZ

"Walter the Bus" is more than 8 feet wide, 13 feet high and weighs 19,500 pounds and has been described as the world's largest Volkswagen bus. The truck is actually a fire truck and was built in 1963 by the Walter Motor Truck Co. The finished product is a priceless work of art unlike anything anyone has seen. Walter is made almost completely out of aluminum and can sleep two to four people, has a 15,000-watt stereo, 50 speakers and a VIP room. He runs on an 844-cubic-inch V8 engine.
The original goal of Walter's transformation was to get the bus to the 2009 Burning Man festival, an annual celebration in Nevada. Since then, it has been to events like Buses by the Bridge in Lake Havasu City and the Scottsdale Pavilions Car Show.
