Vintage Die-cast Greyhound Scenicruiser Bus

This item is a vintage die-cast metal toy representing a Greyhound Scenicruiser bus, a classic mid-20th-century design. The bus features a distinct two-level seating arrangement with a raised rear glass section. It is constructed primarily of heavy die-cast zinc alloy with a silver-toned metallic finish on the lower ribbed body panels and a faded blue paint scheme along the upper windows and side panels. The iconic leaping Greyhound logo is visible but partially worn on the side. The vehicle is equipped with six black plastic or rubber wheels, including a tandem rear axle. The condition is heavily played-with, showing significant paint loss, surface oxidation on the metal, and general scuffing across the roof and sides. No distinct maker's marks are visible in the photo, but this design is characteristic of manufacturers like Tootsietoy or Hubley from the 1950s or 1960s. The toy shows an authentic patina of age, with dust and surface grime consistent with long-term storage or use. It is a sturdy example of American mid-century industrial design in miniature form, capturing the streamlined aesthetic of postwar interstate travel. Despite the wear, the structural integrity of the casting appears sound without visible cracks or missing wheels.
