I would absolutely love to go shopping in that yard. Those "vintage" buses/coaches have fantastic lines with a fit, finish, and elegance that seems to be lost in the years past. Cool video, thanks for sharing it!
One thing very Different from yanky buses to Ausie ones is that all ours have Big BULL BARS on them. The thing is we really need BULL BARS too over here. I'll never forget the night I was in the front seat and we were cruising on 120 Kms/hr, just came over a rise & suddenly there was a heard of cattle on the road, well we Nailed at least 5 or 6 of them. I thought I was going to have cows through the windscreen on my lap. Well as it turns out the BULL BAR took it rather well, it got bent back & put an inch deep crease across the nose from the BULL BAR hitting it & all the lights were smashed, but other than that the bus was ok. We all got off while the driver drove forward/ reverse to get the dead cows out from under the bus, mean while another bus came & we had to follow it for it's lights to the next city. Oh yea what a night that was.
Lovely to see all these. Years ago, I rescued a 1957 Bedford SB Duple Vega coach, as a non runner -for Very cheap.. Much work later, got her moving and she was used as a reliable head-turning RV vehicle with tons of character ! Great channel. So glad to see some Saved -for now..
I've seen photos of Duple Vega coaches and they were all dripping with gorgeous stainless and polished aluminum "road bling" over the classic lines of yesteryear. Any I have seen definitely met the criteria to qualify as head-turners.
Interesting to see a gas or diesel powered Marmon Herrington bus in that yard. As a kid I remember the Marmon Herrington trolley coaches in Columbus Ohio. Marmon's model designation for them was TC 48. Columbus Transit Company, or CTC, had a sizeable fleet of TC 48 trolley coaches. Trolley coaches ran until 1965 in Columbus.
My favorite vintage buses are the Fageol Twin Coaches, the GMC old look buses, the Fishbowls, and the barrel back Crowns. I also like the coaches that had the big air scoops on the top rear of the bus. Many of those ran old Buick Straight 8 engines. the Fageol has two engines mounted pancake style under the bus. I also have a soft spot for the old Kenworth Pacifics.
Amazing , i never knew these buses existed in our country, and around every corner is another beauty. I never knew these greyhound styles, someones gotta restore these and keep them nice. obviously a big part of history and culture. thanks for being into this and showing it so greatly.
Before I bought the SB I found a 1949 Bedford OB in a barn, needed Too much so I passed for £100. I kick myself too, as they are highly collectible now and very rare. Thanks. GREAT channel.
Really weird to see a bus I have ridden in one of your films. But cool. It was a dinosaur when I traveled on it. Interestingly two of the newer busses in the group developed trouble but this one kept going with no problems. Thanks for the memory !:)
I like that 1982 MCI MC9 Crusader ii Coach Ex Rochester City Lines bus in that collection and the Eagle Model AE5 Coach it's probably a Ex Trailways bus
I've seen both Old Busses and Street Cars that have the recessed "Monkey Butt" Split Windshields (mid screen @0:39). Did some contractor build this type of Windshield Assemblies (or possibly entire Coach Frames) for both Busses and Street Cars?
Love that Eagle, would love to get my hands on one. Scott, I lived in Brownsville, and my close friends father worked at Eagle there, we used go and watch them build the custom coaches, we saw Willie Nelson's bus there one time, so cool.
Los alemanes hicieron la combi en reproduccion pequeña de estos bellos buses GM que por aquel entonces eran lo mejor del transporte de personas. Aun recuerdo que en año 1975 subí por primera vez à un bus como esos y quedé sorprendido por el confort de la suspension neumatica y el bonito ruido de su motor.
I know exactly where you were at Bloomington, Minnesota , Heartland tours bus garage off of 84th and Bloomington Ave S. ! What did I win Mr. Gameshow host ! Lol 😂. He has since cleaned up a bit, but he won’t sell just to anyone !

Beautiful machines!
Hey Scott, wouldn't it be awesome to have the Greyhound dog sign on your Silverside with neon gas tube highlights????.🤘👍

The Kenworth COE topped off my bus porn. LOL. That's one beautiful truck
Damn ..The Crown Coach, made in my home town of Chino,CA....One of the most reliable and safest busses on the planet, Bar none!!!!.
There's just some kinda old magic history behind all those old buses. I wish the story came with them all.

Oh wait its another Ex Rochester City Lines buses two MCI MC9 Crusader ii Coaches and one 102C3 model
Buses are only good if they're on the road being used. I hope these don't just lay there for the next 50 years.
I have several pieces of roof glass for a glass top fishbowl. They are for sale.
Double drool...
