Anything's possible, Sherry. . .
Trailways did operated 4104s, but I have no additional ownership records, just the delivery rosters. . .

PD-4104-4920
In reference to the Red Paint on the ex Gray Lines Tours PD-4104.
Now if my memory serves me correct the buses were painted red and white for Gray Line Tours in Miami,FL.
I have seen a postcard of the Gray Lines 4104's in Miami,FL and they were as I described.

RJ,
Do you have a record of my 4104-076? Reportedly delivered to GH Detroit. Do you know of a lower number still in service?
Thanks,
Jim Stacy |

PD4104-076: Delivered new in May of 1953 as fleet number G-6461 to Great Lakes Greyhound Lines of Detroit, MI.
Of the top of my head, I think you may have the "oldest" 04 still on the road.
Maybe a good idea for a new thread, eh?

Don,
We are at Rio Hondo, TX, Twin Palms RV park.
Stop by.
RJ,
Thanks for the confirmation. We are planning a 50th birthday party for the old girl.
It would be interesting to find an older coach.
Fred,
Is your lovely bride still putting up with you?
Thanks, Guys
