"Me
and Paul" was custom built in 1983 by Florida Coach for the
Willie Nelson Family Band. Drummer Paul English owned this
amazing bus which was one of four original Willie Nelson
Family Band tour buses commissioned at the same time and used to tour all
over the US together for several years. The "Me and Paul" bus is the
only well-preserved bus out of the four. This is super unique
because most tour buses are used for a tour then get retro-fitted for another
client and the band never uses it again. Besides some mechanical
upgrades, this bus has been very well preserved and still looks like the
inside of a vintage stage coach or VIP train car complete with rich
Mahogany, many leather bound books, and crushed red velvet. After the band
finished using the bus it moved around the country for years
with a number of different owners. In May 2014, a group of
Austin Texas entrepreneurs and Outlaw Country fans purchased the bus and have
been using it personally as well as renting it out. Renters have
used the bus for all sorts of logistics including weddings, concert green
rooms, band tours, corporate transportation, etc. These
entrepreneurs have been too busy with work and family and
have decided to get the bus on the road again for its next
journey. ***The bus has its own website. Visit MeandPaulBus.com to learn more*** |
