Another bus which easily could have inspired the SCENICRUISER was the handsome PEGASO Z-403.......

Some interesting SCENICRUISER trivia:

In 1968, PD4501-591 became the first SCENICRUISER to be sold by Greyhound for further service with another company.

This bus was sold to MICHAUD BUS LINES of Salem, Mass., and became the "YANKEE TRAVELER" (#181)

In the end, regarding GREYHOUND's selling off of the SCENICRUISERS, 400 of the buses eventually entered the used bus market.

Many charter bus companies, churches, schools, and bands became interested in purchasing SCENICRUISERS as Greyhound began to diverse itself, slowly but surely, of the iconic SCENICRUISER........

Beginning in 1967, nearly 100 SCENICRUISERS were converted into passenger/cargo "Combo Cars".

The first two converted were CENTRAL GREYHOUND LINES' #1392, and SOUTHERN GREYHOUND LINES #5413.

The latter coach had all the seats on the upper level removed and converted into a cargo area, with only the lower level seats remaining for passengers.......

Take a look at this most unusual 1930's Italian coach; the driver HAD to have been in tip-top shape to manhandle this hulking behemoth!
