Parked outside of the T riple XXX Root Beer Drive-In in Issaquah, Washington is an old tour bus that was used by Buddy Holly & the Crickets . They used a number of busses during the Winter Dance Party Tour in 1958 but this is likely the bus that Buddy Holly complained about - it broke down frequently and had no heat - which made traveling very uncomfortable for the popular 1950s singers on the tour - Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. The bus rides were so cold the drummer actually suffered frostbite.
