Why It’s Special
Layla was more than a bus—she was a bridge between family and freedom. She offered the seller and her son weekends under the stars, cross-state adventures, and spontaneous escapes to music festivals from Hidden Ridge to Moonshiner’s Ball. Thoughtfully insulated and lovingly cared for, she’s as reliable as she is soulful.

If you’re ready to hit the road with a Skoolie that’s already proven, already beautiful, and ready to roll—this is your sign.
