Behold the Santa Fe Super Chief, a one-of-a-kind party bus originally designed for the 1948-1949 Chicago Railroad Fair.
This roadworthy, converted bus version was modeled after the Super Chief passenger rail train, which was the flagship of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The streamliner was touted in its heyday as “The Train of the Stars” because it often carried celebrities between Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California.
The Super Chief was the first diesel-electric powered cross-country passenger train in America. The train eclipsed the Chief as Santa Fe’s standard bearer. Adding to the train’s poshness were its gourmet meals and Hollywood clientele.
