Surfin' School Bus

==Description==
The Surfin' School Bus is a Hot Wheels original bus with some elements of a Crown Supercoach.
The casting received a retool for 2021, gaining new plastic cladding which goes up into the interior to act like faux windows. Construction for the casting also changed, going from a tab-post design to a post-post design. This made the casting become shorter than the previous retool.
