  • 1941 Greyhound "Silverside" Bus.
    One of the great American Icons of the 20th Century along with Jeeps and Coca Cola. Introduced at the 1939 New York World’s Fair as the “Silverside”, it goes down in history as the most popular and best loved bus of all time.
    There are only 4 or 5 known Silversides restored to this condition. There were 500 built in 1940 and 1941 by Yellow Coach. This is the only prewar Yellow Coach on the road today. In 1947-48 GM built 2,000 very similar Silversides. When both models were retired, they all had 2-3 million miles on them and worn out. This took 4 years and several thousand hours to bring it to its present condition.
    Incredible attention when its viewable. Possible uses as a corporate symbol, food service-restaurant attraction, movies, motor home or like the Ford Tri-motor Aeroplane used for display and operable.
    $150,000

    I love the "Made in USA" steel, aluminum, leather, etc. parts instead of a bunch of Chinese plastic parts. It's a real beauty. Thanks for sharing.

      I get buses, I get semis, I get limos, but I just don't get lifted pickups. The guys are compensating for small members. I mean lifted pickups can't outpull semis or trains or tractors but America remains with a unique and annoying phenomenon with the lifted pickup small member syndrome. Buses rock.

    there is another prewar silversides bus owned by silversides sage he has a youtube channel. Originally these busses all had the bias ply tires on split rims as now been replaced by tubeless tires. the engine is a 6-71 2 stroke Detroit Diesel. most Silversides still around are the post war models still on the road as Rvs. Bus Grease Monkey has one a 1947 silversides converted to an RV he is a travelling vintage bus mechanic.

    In the 1970s my family had a 42 silverside in Parkersburg, WV. We had a family puppet ministry and conducted meeting in churches through the east coast. Bought it from the Victory Boys Quartet and after using it for ten years sold it to the pathway Quartet in Ohio.
    Because we had five children traveling with us it worked great as a home away and saved the churches money on having to house and feed our large family.
    Perhaps it was our old unit. Don't have the paper work any longer but know it was a Yellow chassis, a Detroit engine, and was painted green. Had four bunas in center, master bedroom and bathroom on curb side. DICK CAGNO

    Most people do not know that the 3701 and -15 are the basis for the 4104...minus the frame. The 4101-3 was based on the transit bus chassis and body from 1940.

      G. Bridgman , they had a 4spd on the column ..... Back in the late '60s I went to summer camp in northern Calif. I was able to sit in the first row and get a first hand show of the drivers skills shifting and negociating the winding curves of hwy 101 and 128 to camp Novarro .....

      @@antoniobarton2682 I did that when I was in the 7th and 8th grades. I'd sit as far up front as possible to watch the driver work the bus. We had mid 50s internationals with 5-speed non-synchromesh transmissions that took skill to operate. It was fascinating. Thanks for the information.
