@@DTD110865 this was late 65. I remember that there were these cardboard cut outs that were given to kids that were cereal box type they could put together. Like our Tri Met buses here in Portland.
With everything gm was designing in the truck market, and their ownership of Detroit Diesel, I wish they'd just fused Detroit GMC and Chevy's trucks into a single division that could sustain their innovation
I got to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time riding in the upstairs part of one of these beauties😊
Thanks for the great comment, I'm very glad you were lucky enough to ride this wonderful bus.
If it was "one of", then by the sound of it that was a Scenicruiser; the implication of this video is that there was only one GX-2, a prototype.
I had this as a Matchbox.
still do, plus Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
Me too.
So did I!
You had the GM PD4501, the final design Scenicruiser for which 1001 were produced for Greyhound Lines. The GX-2 was a one off prototype design.
So neat
Speaks volumes as to what we were as a nation once upon a time
We still have buses......

Hey, I road in one of those when I was a kid.
That first seat on the top tier was the coveted seat. Awesome place to watch the world go by.
I remember these. Boy, how I wanted to ride in that upper tier and never got to.
Only the US could name a bus 'Scenicruiser' - so great, as in europe it would most likely have been letters and numbers!
Beautiful Thanks from Rotterdam Netherlands
Thank you very much.
I think country singer Tammy Wynett
used one of these in the early 1970's as a tour bus. 1973ish(?)
Rode the scenicruiser once from LA to Phoenix.
The GX--2 had two rear windshield wipers, which the Scenicruiser didn't have. That logo in the front looked like a Flxible one though.
I wonder if Flxible is still in business. They built a lot of buses.
@@Ivan-cr3vc From what I've read, they were gone by the late-1990's.

Stupid dramatic AI voice... LOL!
Too bad that Greyhound now is one of the worst bus companies in the country.
