Hino RC-a classic luxury bus that has to be said

With the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1980s, various vehicles flooded into China, and various brands of trucks, buses and cars affected our lives. Looking back on this history, you can never jump over Hino RC bus. Hino RC bus is the representative of high-end imported bus in that year, which is used in many places in China. Besides fans, even ordinary people are deeply impressed by Hino RC bus.

As time goes by, these cars will be scrapped when they get old. Some driving schools buy second-hand Hino model cars from major travel agencies and hotels as coaches, so that these Hino model cars with acceptable quality can continue to exert their residual heat among the people. The two Hino RC buses introduced in this paper are flight instructor licenses in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, and are currently in the scrap stage.

Because there are not many pictures, I can only briefly talk about these Hino RC buses. In 1980s, Hino RC bus was still full of Showa style, with the front windshield installed in sections and the windows with rounded corners. Blue-and-white body was a very popular color matching style. The body is painted with a rectangular dark blue decorative block, and a black line is added between the blue part and the black part as a transition.

Like the UD bus of that year, the front face of Hino RC bus still uses a lot of all-metal parts. The metal grille in the middle is decorated with three horizontal bars, and the lower half of the middle net is arranged in a ladder shape. Four lights are installed at the left and right ends of the rectangular grille, some of which are broken. A pair of small fog lamps are also installed under the headlights, and the turn signals at the left and right ends still adopt convex design.

The metal Hino Eagle logo in the middle of the front face is definitely the crowning touch, and it is the favorite logo of countless car fans. No matter the color or shape of the logo, Hino's logo is more eye-catching than other Japanese commercial vehicles. However, due to improper maintenance, the appearance of these Hino remote-controlled cars is very bad. A lot of paint has peeled off from the exterior, the metal inside has rusted, and the exterior of the car body is covered with water stains.

The windshield of one Hino RC bus is well preserved, while the windshield of another bus is even worse. The rear-view mirrors on the left and right sides of Hino RC bus adopt small external swing-arm rear-view mirrors, and the overall shape of the rear-view mirrors adopts arc design, which can improve the radian of the rear-view mirrors. However, the rearview mirror of this car was changed later, and it was all made in China.

The windshield of the other car is rotten, and the middle of the glass has collapsed. The whole windshield is fixed with transparent glue to prevent it from falling off. The rearview mirrors at the left and right ends shall be original white metal rearview mirrors. The once brilliant Hino RC bus has now fallen into this state, which makes people feel a little distressed.

The annual inspection mark in the upper right corner of the windshield is left on it, and the last one is from 2002. This date should be its last operation time, and it was not torn off when it entered the driving school. As can be seen from the license plate, these two cars entered the driving school in Hebei, and the condition of the cars was unbearable. They should have been used in the driving school for some years.

Because of improper maintenance, the colors of these two cars are not optimistic. Bumper, wheel cover and other parts have rusted and deformed, making it difficult to reproduce the glory of that year. Fortunately, these two cars have entered the hands of collectors, and they should be properly handled and repaired in the future to restore their heroic spirit to the maximum extent.
