**Circa: 1970’s (exact yr not known)

History: The famous funk band made history in the late 1970s by touring in a custom bus purchased from boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Critics and fans praised the vehicle as a rolling symbol of the band's massive, high-energy success. It gave the large group the space they needed to travel comfortably between shows without the stress of flying.

The 1970’s Bus Review ~
The Look: It was a giant, classic coach that featured the band's name. It is often remembered from a famous centerfold in Life magazine where the band posed proudly on top of it!
The Space: The bus carried a large group of 10 to 20 band members at a time. It gave the musicians a private, cozy space to rest after their energetic, horn-heavy concerts!
