From 1925: “A Bus Salesman's Dream of 1950”

The image shows a satirical 1925 cartoon illustration titled “A Bus Salesman's Dream of 1950” (featuring a giant multi-deck vehicle resembling a Mack truck chassis) that imagined an absurdly oversized, amenity-laden highway liner.

Concept & Features: The colossal multi-level vehicle is fancifully equipped with an airplane landing deck on top, an observation deck, a swimming pool, a dancing floor, and even a bridle path.

Historical Context: Originally published in the Mack Bulldog company magazine in the 1920s, the cartoon humorously exaggerated the era's growing fascination with expanding motorcoach technology and transcontinental road travel.
