Napier's problem-child Art Deco buses are looking for new homes after the city council's decision to abandon the tourism bus service.
The decision on how to dispose of "Veronica" and "Belle", two buses rebuilt in the US from chassis bought in France and imported to run a specialist service between Napier's Marine Parade and Westshore, was made by the council last week.
The Deco City Discoverer service was introduced as an alternative to trams, which were proposed by Ahuriri businesses as a tourist link to downtown Napier and Marine Parade.
The buses will make their last run on May 4, and then be advertised by the end of next month for sale by tender.
The service hit trouble before the buses were put into service, arriving in an unroadworthy condition.
