The workhorse of Canada Coach Lines' fleet until the MC5s arrived were the SDM4501 and 4502 GM suburbans. These were delivered in several groups, the first two batches being built in Pontiac, Michigan; Class of 1960: 1901,1903,1905,1907,1909,1911;Class of 1961: 1931,1933,1935,1939;Class of 1963; 1941,1943,1945,1947;Class of 1965: 1951(first with sedan door),1953,1955,1957,1959,1961,1963,1967,1969,1971,Class of 1966:1981,1983,1985,1987,1989,1990-1996. The first groups of these buses came with the two piece air operated doors, while those from 1951 on up came with the one piece sedan door. This group of buses was built at GM's London, Ontario plant. All featured high back seats, overhead parcel racks,underfloor baggage compartments. Since the Class of 1960 buses were the oldest, they were the first to be taken out of service. My Canada Coach Lines booklet features a photo of 1905 being parted out and with all the passenger seats gone out of the bus. The doors, headlights, windshield wipers are also missing as well. A number of these buses were parted out to keep the others operational. Some of these buses were still in service as late as the 1980s.These were a lot of fun to ride.
