Man, talk about "HUGE"!!!!!

That is one MASSIVE bus, for certain!!!!! Shocked

For some strange reason, GREYHOUND's now-defunct (with the exceptions of cross-border runs) Canadian operations came to mind.

(Recall, in 2022, TRAILWAYS OF NEW YORK ended its alliance with GREYHOUND's Canadian operations)

There are a number of rare vintage photos on this page.

Of note:

The 1967 "CANUCK 600" (note resemblence to PREVOST)

The 1958 "CANUCK-P41" (GREYHOUND)

Also, note the QUITE distinctive "deck-and-half" coach from 1955! Wink

This handsome 1960's WESTERN FLYER intercity coach, indeed, would have look quite at home in the GREYHOUND fleet, especially, as more and more MCI's were being added to the fleet....... Wink

GREYHOUND (North o' the border), 1950's.

The large windshields on this beefy, tough-looking bruiser remind me of the AEROCOACH...........
