I remember Greyhound drivers would pass everything on the road when I was a rider back in the 60's. Those suckers used to rock.

Watching the Santa cruiser in those wonderful views really got the emotional with a bit of tear in my eyes. I’m now 79 years old but when I was 15 years old, I took a Sena cruiser from Chicago to Portland Oregon alone. My parents sent me to spend a vacation with my grandparents, on the way back I took a cruiser bus back for three days and two nights. What a wonderful trip it was both ways.

There it is 1.5 million Dollars, starting bid! Your bus cost $50,000.00 Dollars new, this was the equivalency to $575, 000.00. No doubt the Hesperus is a Rat-Rod. Nice bus!!! August

I still fondly remember when the Scenicruisers were in regular service with Greyhound in the 1960s. Still the best looking bus in my opinion

My great uncle (by marriage) was Paul D Silliman. Paul as a boy was literally present (at his father's mansion in Hibbing, MN) at the founding of Greyhound, and he went on to work for them for decades before ending his career with Eastern Express out of Terre Haute, Indiana. I recall he had a large scale (not huge, just mean you'd use two hands to hold it) model Scenicruiser. Fred's manner reminds me of my uncle & it was uncanny to hear him say, "This is your Terre Haute Express...", because I'd heard my uncle say the very same thing to me when I was a boy riding with them.

Rode plenty of these back in the 1960s as a small kid back and forth between Baton Rouge La and Port Arthur Tex. Just like this one, most of the ones headed for home were signed up NEW ORLEANS. Going west they were signed up SAN FRANCISCO or HOUSTON. Hated it when the MC-7s took over as Greyhound's flagship in the early 1970s. Rode plenty of those too.

Hi. It's never really been open to the public. Someone in our group knew someone at Greyhound. Now the fleet is being sold one by one. The MC-7 is already gone, and others have sales pending.

I'm just thankful that this bus is getting what it deserves and that is another life by someone who knows what they're doing and is most deserving of her. I just bought me a rare twin coach tc25 motorhome that I have to get working on. Good luck on your restoration! Can't wait to see another update!
