Gomaco replica streetcar trolley bus. Chicago Illinois USA. July 2007.

I photographed this Gomaco replica trolley bus, on West Addison Street near the ! 90 Kennedy Expressway. Seen here parked at a muffler service garage, is a specially built replica bus used for Wedding Rentals, or other special chartered occasions ,such as parades or various different civic events. These buses are built on a straight truck chasis, and are designed to look like the old electric streetcars that rolled along city streets during the early 20th century.
It even has a trolley gong as well. Clang Clang!
Many of these have gained popularity in recent years working for sightseeing tour companys.
