- 1957 GM PD 4104 updates.
4104-2240 started out it's life as a tour bus for the Yosemite Park and Curry Company, as bus 65. It transported guests to from and around Yosemite National Park from 1957 to approximately 1980.
Was then purchased by a private party in Las Vegas and the bus conversion was started.
Then another owner donated the bus to a local church in Riverside, California whom we purchased the bus from in May 2011.
I love it . O07 plates are cool. Huge living space. I love it❤
I practically grew up on a 1960 4104 entertainer bus. Many years and many miles. That thing had the same engine and trans as yours and it was bulletproof.
Makes me homesick watching this😊
Check my Playlist, I have several videos on our coach.
@@jonusle2937 Sure enough. Thanks.
Thanks for the tour!
You're welcome.
Hi Jon, Enjoyable is this Video.
Love to hear you are enjoying finding
People to work on your Bus. And yes can remember when each State you had to have a License Plate. This Engine is 671 powered correct? With four speed Clark Transmission. There a lube zerk to lube rear Shift linkages just before engine bay at bottom.
Thanks, ours has the 4 speed spicer transmission.
That's a great-looking bus with an airy, floor plan that is well laid-out. I think the exterior would really come alive if you removed the paint on the sides and let the natural gleam of the aluminum show. Just my opinion. Thanks for the tour.
Just found your channel, I wouldn't worry about what others say, like you said, it's yours, and you like it, that is all that matters. I'm still looking for one, would like to find one with the original look, but everything I find is on one coast or the other, or way up north, I'm in Texas.
You are right about that. I know of one in Northern California that is for sale for 10k or best offer. Exterior is nice, inside is gutted. A second one in Northern California with tires about 2 years old and and a basic conversion. The 2nd one I mentioned has a video in my 4104 playlist.
We have a PD 4104 Group on Facebook
@@jonusle2937 yes I just joined recently, been looking, there are a couple of seated buses close by, I may have to go that route.
I track all the surviving GM PD 4104's left in the world. I have some free manuals on PDF and other info. I am a moderator on the 4104 group too.
Sounds like you're about ready to put some miles on Lawn Art!
Eventually, work restarts next week. But we are making plans for our next adventure.
Progress!
Yep, ready to get up and go. Can't wait to put it through it's paces.
Hey Jon,
Looks like you got yourself a good bus. Good condition for its age!
To respond to a couple of your comments, the tube for the driver's side window defroster is the way they came from the factory similar to the one of the right side of your dash. The one in my bus is that way and I vividly recall those being that way from my days of riding in old Greyhounds in the fifties and sixties (don't mess with perfection!). Also, the dash gauges looked like your oil pressure gauge, no bezels just a slightly recessed ring around the gauge that fit in the dash hole. The original set of smaller gauges consisted of an oil pressure, temperature, sometimes a fuel gauge (optional) and a volt meter (also optional). Check out my bus on my channel, and if you ever need help or advice on repairs or whatever, get in touch. I've had mine for 36 years and have taken just about all of it apart at one time or another. We've driven ours about a quarter of a million miles and we have been to 47 states in it and all over Canada. Many of the repairs are shown in my videos.
Enjoy your bus!
