I’ve written before about the Great One, Jackie Gleason, on this site. Between his television, movie, and music careers, the man was a bona fide superstar during the 1950s and into the ’60s. So I don’t know why I was surprised to find out that his image was even used to sell toys. In this case, most appropriately, a bus. But not just any bus — it’s the 1955 Honeymooners’ Special Jackie Gleason Bus, produced by a company called Wolverine.

The Jackie Gleason Bus features Ralph Kramden from the Honeymooners, of course, but other Gleason characters as well. I can spot Joe the Bartender, Reginald Van Gleason III, and the Poor Soul. And awa-a-y we go!

Notice that while the bus is tin the wheels are wooden. I also think the POW! license plate is a nice touch.
