This bus takes me back into history going to school downtown and also joyriding
What a wonderful precious moments
We had some good times on these buses
Beautiful memories you shared with us. Thank you
Wow! We had this same type of GM Old look and the small version in Cuba! They arrived in Cuba in the 1950's and were already in use in USA! The have the same number of windows and the small windows before and after de rear door! Probably the same serie! Excellent air suspension, they were automatic and super comfortable! Applause for GM designers!!! I remember one in particular with the number 1442 that went from Havana to Guanabo!❤️❤️👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
these were city buses when i was a kid. been on a LOT of them
When shifting gears on a classic GM oldlook. Look at your air pressure gauge and listen for a change in your idle. Once you hear that difference you will hear alittle air escape in the back. That is your gear shift working. Then slide it into gear. That cuts out all that grinding when shifting. Glad you guys got it going. Keep up the great work. Glad to see another oldlook on the road. Have you gotten it to go into direct drive yet? That happens while driving. If it gets to or above 25 to 30 mph. It shifts into direct drive on it’s on. When slowing down it goes back into low drive.
I remember when riding in one of these buses. The transmission was a combination of an automatic and a direct drive. The start off was the automatic portion, after 40 MPH, the transmission would shift into direct drive with the aid of air pressure that would shift it. I actually saw a bus with a broken shifter arm.
As Former Transit Driver. The Old Look Bus. Then the new Look came out. These two buses were the very best buses GMC Ever built. Just look at how long they have been running... I loved both of these buses❤
Cool bus! Jonathan W has just found a similar one as well 😀
That’s really cool...love it exactly as it is, rusty and weathered and though it would be sacrilegious, but I can just see this as a GM Old-Look Rat Rod bus!
Thank you brother fir your comment
Es espectacular esos buses maravillosos
Congratulations! She runs and drives! Amazing how much abuse and neglect traditional American vehicles can take.
Dude 17 years not running real is no big deal for a diesel, fix the brakes, lights tires and drive. now 40 or 50 years sitting now that's something else.
I love this GM old look .
That Detroit 6-71 sounds like it's goood as new :O :O :O It barely smokes (just the old carbon clearing out etc)
This bus is an absolute score!!!!
Thank u brother
Awesome man
No Power Steering and no Air Conditioning.
Well built.
Like a Sherman tank!!!
Very nice 👍
So cool 👏👏👏👏👏
That I love Lucy poster is so fitting.
Really is. The memories of that bus are compounded by it
Un recuerdo sensacional
Wow! The interior is a clean time capsule! Who is Lucy? 😂
Old 2-valve 6-71. Bullet proof. I know where a 4-71 made in 50 or 52 is that pulled a sawamill until last year. Now a 6-71 does it but the 4 is awaiting an inframe. Still runs fine.
Bet Detroit did not think these buses would outlive them!!
@@conquryourfear Probably not but that was before we gave everything away and some folks still had good jobs.
@@lewiemcneely9143 wish it could get better. Bring back what made America the USA
@@conquryourfear Me too but it's all gone, or most of it. All the BIG industry sold out. I'm afraid that what went down the river will stay down the river.
Whoever is doing the restoration should at least (and I know some will disagree) give the rear differential gearing to allow for higher speeds (60 to 65 mph) on the highway and also May swap out the transmission for either a VS-2 (2 speed + overdrive) or a V730.
Thank you for that. But that owner picked up the bus. He does monitor this video. Thanks again
I can hear the rockers being starved for oil.. how long did it run before it grenaded
Now, I've seen this coach operate with the front doors open. I've never seen one travel with the rear doors open. I thought that when the rear doors were open, the brakes were applied so that no one would fall out while the bus was moving.
That rear door interlock was an optional feature that depended on whether the agency that ordered the bus wanted that feature. Apparently, this agency didn't want it, or over the years, it stopped working.
Now out some proper tires on, meh. Nice save, peace.
Tell the guy who makes the observation at about 6:00 about how hot it had gotten in the back of the bus... That was one of the things about those Old Look buses - noisy as hell, and hot as hell too.
So true!!
The windows in this bus are closed.
Looks like a city transit bus on the inside not an over the road coach bus!
Definitely
I’m guessing he’s going to restore it back to original condition or customize it to his taste
When it's all said and done, I hope to upload a before and after transformation.
Perhaps you can let us know how long it's been since it's been driven and on the road???
17 years!!!
official name Líne 21.
popular names : the “21”.
Others names: " the Submarine”, “twenti-one-I smoke”.in peru lima these buses were “chimneys” of the “Coach” brand, American-made, the mechanics were GM. Its engines were extremely noisy and with a large exhaust pipe that released abundant black smoke. They always smelled of petroleum inside (that's how they were cleaned), they also had a characteristic smell inside that made them sleepy and that was nothing more than carbon monoxide, leaking into the interior of the vehicle. The model was the same as the buses on line 48 that passed through La Mar avenue, only these were red and white. Another peculiar characteristic of these buses was that they did not stop jumping as they moved forward despite the fact that they did so at a slow "step". The signs on the doors read “Upload - Welcome”; “Download - Thank you for your preference”. Its floors were made of wooden slats, and its green seats were somewhat hard. The engine made the seat in the last row burn the butt, in winter it was nice but in the summer it turned them into real “sauna trips”.
My kind of bus!!!
GMC truck& COACH
DETROITS DON'T DIE THEY JUST CATCH THERE BREATH.....
We have to print that on a t-shirt!!!
@@conquryourfear let me know when you get some done!
Looks like a old look City transit bus because of the center door. And the passenger seats.
Yes it does
It is an old city transit bus from Miami Transit Agency. The destination sign reads 'Biscayne Point'. Biscayne Point is an island near Miami Beach.
anyone looking for a bus like this to restore? I have one in Brookings, OR ....we are just beginning to revive her. 1958 Southern Coach, already converted to a "motor home"
Maybe. Describe please?
I know where an old bus is sitting in South Georgia
Are there any plans to restore it to it's original condition?
Not really. It’s gonna be a rat bus

Any updates on this bus?
She ‘s sitting. New owner just has it parked!!
Is this a Ex Akron, Ohio Metro RTA 1957 GM TDH-5105 old look bus or a Miami Dade Transit bus.
Chicago
Miami Dade. There's an ad inside about Miami International Airport. Also, Biscayne Point is near Miami Beach.
How much did the bus sell for?
IT ORIGINALY COST $300.00. THE OWNER WHO PURCHASED IT STILL HAS IT ON THE STASH UNTIL HE FIGURES OUT WHAT HE PLANS TO DO WITH IT.
She's back from the grave, or should I say"hospital" ?
Hospital!!
