Aloha from the mainland! I owned a 1951 Hilo Sampan Bus, it was sold in auction in 1995 in Hilo to the National Tropical Botanical Gardens in Kaui.In 2004 I bought it and brought it to Southern California. I drive it when ever I can. Looking for any old pictures or information about the Hilo sampan Bus Company, or just the Sampans. Mahalo Gordon "Da Sampan Man"
