Only the psychedelic VW bus and double decker bus remain.
[Donna and Bill Blum, 04/16/2019]As of June 2016, we only saw the psychedelic microbus and the double decker bus on the two instances we drove by. Not sure where the other vehicles are.

Not only does this roadside fireworks stand have a huge inflated gorilla wearing sunglasses and America pants, but the parking lot boasts a Batmobile that you can sit in for photos, a Volkswagen Beetle painted like a ladybug, a psychedelic microbus, and a weird double-decker London-style bus with the score from the Revolutionary War proudly displayed on the side (America 1, England 0).
