I saw a program on public TV less than a month ago about Jones. The film showed several '04s being used by the group. I don't remember if the coach's had lettering on them other than the destnation sign. Don't know if your coach was one of them but Jones did have several '04s on the film. Could be. | ||

If you have unpainted Al sides look closely in bright sunlight and you will probably be able to see the faint outlines of any lettering. I found three locations like this on my 4104 and plan to repaint them one of these days. | ||

I do remember reading that the Jones' congregation purchased their buses from Greyhound. The timing would be rightr. Greyhound was selling off their '04s and scenicruisers. | ||

The Jones group had 8-10 4104s in the late 60's and early 70's until they relocated to Jonestown in South America. From what I understand the only bus that was changed/converted was the one Jim Jones used for himself. The others remained as purchased from Greyhound. . | ||
