Description[]

The Surfin' School Bus is a Hot Wheels original bus with some elements of a Crown Supercoach.

The casting received a retool for 2021, gaining new plastic cladding which goes up into the interior to act like faux windows. Construction for the casting also changed, going from a tab-post design to a post-post design.
