Roden's new release is the 1/35th scale new tooled GMC PD 3701 Silverside Bus of the "Greyhound Lines" these were made famous in many great photos and folklore from the USA. "Taking a Greyhound" was synonymous with these large "Silver Side" busses.
From Roden: "A legend of the era of transcontinental flights, the era of jazz and art deco, the era of the new life of the country that overcame the Great Depression. Futuristic and sophisticated design. Shine of polished metal and unprecedented comfort level. Transport that abolished the railways of old America. Transport that delivered thousands and thousands of passengers in just a few days and hours from one corner of a huge country to its opposite part. The embodiment of true freedom, as one of the main achievements of a democratic society."
