Forrest Gump - 1959 GM Coach

Forrest Gump (1994) features the 1959 GM Coach TDM 4515, number 108, when Forrest makes a peace sign as Jenny leaves him in Washington, D.C.

Buses play a significant role in Forrest's life: he meets Jenny on the school bus; he rides an army bus; Jenny leaves on this bus in D.C.; he waits at the bus stop for Jenny; he sends his son on the school bus. Hence, I built the most unique one, a rather cool vintage bus!

Repurposed "garage roller door" pieces make fully-functional bifold doors. The roof with luggage racks is easy to remove and fits snugly for maximum playability. It seats 45 and stands 15 minifigs, just like its real-life counterpart. There is one additional seat for the bus driver, with the characteristic large steering wheel and stick shift, as well as the instrument panel reading "GM Coach."

I've also recreated Forrest with the Medal of Honor and Jenny in her fur-lined coat and long white shirt.
