From Blue Bird to Green Quetzal

Posted in Vehicles | Monday, May 5th, 2008 | 4 Comments »

The typical Guatemalan camioneta (public transit bus or chicken bus for those who like the colourful derogatory term) is based on an old looking Blue Bird school bus. How the Blue Bird insignia became a Green Quetzal beats me. But I guess this sort of transfiguration is what makes the Guatemalan idiosyncrasy; don’t you think so?
