does any one have pictures of the next generation GM charter bus that had similar style to the RTS that they never made. When I started out as a mechanics helper in a GMC heavy truck dealer its seems like I remember seeing some propaganda from GM on the lunch table at the time I was 18 years old and could not have cared less about a new bus

it seemed like that it was much taller than a RTS it had giant baggage bays and the front was different than a RTS but had very smooth sides very much ahead of is time its too bad they never made I think it would have been very popular (I would love to have one) I think GM buses are the most standardized and easyist to understand.

Yes, please do share, as I am into the RTS and have seen one that was "Raised" (It don't look like an RTS anymore), I would like to see what you have also. cd

Since I'm not very good at HTML, I'll send the pics I have to |@n, and let him post them for you.

Maybe Doug can do the same with the ones his Dad has. . .

Thanks Ian and Doug.
Don't look like an RTS, maybe an RTS cross breed, but it does look nice. cd

Nice bus! I'd bet it would have been a good seller and very popular with us busnuts by now. Really too bad GM got out of the bus business.

Thanks RJ and Ian.

I've been dreaming on how I could make a 4905 look like this by using parts from other buses. I have a long drive to work and back home. thats where I get some of my best ideas Thanks again RJ
