The painted bus sounds like Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters
(see _The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test_), or some other '60s
bus (I remeber seeing those painted buses and VW minibuses).
It was common enough to become a cliche.

If anyone's read that book, or one of the other late Beat or
early Hippie books, there may be such a sequence of vehicles.
