and use my code "JUICEBOX" at checkout for $50 off your order! Thanks for your support! Crowned in Style is a 1954 Crown School Bus conversion by Josh and Carolyn. This bus has an incredible history, as Josh's grandparents bought it when it retired from School Bus service in 1970 and traveled all over the Americas. Josh bought it from his grandmother so that he could live in it himself in his teenage years during a tough time in his life. Decades later after it had sat for years he brought it back to life, replacing practically the entire bus before doing a tasteful and extensive conversion. Having kept the conversion a secret from his aging grandmother, Josh finished the build and surprised her with it's incredible transformation and she got to ride in her and her dear husband's bus again one last time. This video is in honor of:
Joseph Jackling 1919-1990
Inez Jackling 1923-2020
Josh and Carolyn really did this incredible relic justice and are just about ready to travel in it full time themselves. Give them a follow on Instagram at www.instragram.com/crownedinstyle, and on KZfaq at / jnjentinc

The most beautiful thing about your bus is the family connection. I'm so glad your grandmother got to see what you were doing with it. I hope someday your own children and grandchildren will enjoy the experience.
