An ex-Greyhound bus just like this owned by an election campaign group came by my college campus only a few weeks ago, and from the exhaust note I swear it still had the big gasoline engine in it. Who would have thought that diesel prices would ever rise so high that the owners of that ancient petrol bus would once again be laughing all the way to the bank?
Later versions of this bus were used by Carey Transportation from the East and West Side Terminals in Manhattan to get to the airports and were quite comfortable and pleasant until they ceased operation in the mid Sixties or later.
This bus was passed down to me when my father passed away 3 years ago. I’m not an expert on these, but this one is a jewel because it has no rust. I moved it out of the garage when I sold the house and it ran, (see video). It maybe had 40,000 miles on it since 1970. It would need to be mechanically gone through. It is not ready to drive across country.
