Transit/Gasoline/36 passengers/Model 09/570 Sequential Production Number. Delivered new in April of 1946 as fleet number 2128 to Montgomery City Lines, Montgomery, AL. These were built by Yellow Coach, at that time owned by GM, but before the Truck & Coach Division was formed. HTH, RJ PD4106-2784 Fresno CA | ||

Personally, I think information like that is just the coolest. What a great insight into the working life of what is now just an old bus in a pasture. Brian | ||

I'd like to chime in with Brian! RJ, you are one heck of an asset to the rest of us, whether for history of a bus or good information on other bus things. Thank you, sir. We still have to meet at Superior Creamery sometime when we're in Hanford. TomNPat | ||

Thank you, Tom, for the kind words. They're appreciated. Superior Dairy it is! Maybe when the Hanford Fox has got a good country music artist playin' on a Saturday nite???  RJ |
