Summary: We present a description of the $C^*$-algebras with Hausdorff spectrum whose all irreducible representations are finite-dimensional as algebras of continuous cross-sections of certain Banach bundles, thus generalizing a well-known result of \cite{F1} and \cite{TT} on homogeneous $C^*$-algebras.
