My 92 year-old dad was overjoyed by seeing this video because it brought back vivid memories of his early days in the U.S. Navy when in 1951 he and my mom traveled from San Francisco, to Long Beach, CA in a Greyhound PD-3751, then continued on to Philadelphia, PA, when over the course of a couple of days, they would transfer to a couple of connecting PD-3751s until arriving at their destination. Dad vividly recalled the downshifting the driver would have to do with the manual column shifter when going over mountain passes, and specifically stopping, in of all places, Jerome, AZ to drop off and pick up mail. Greyhound and Trailways bus lines contracted with the U.S. postal service to transport bulk mail back then. Thanks for the memories, and for your passion in keeping a rolling piece of American history alive. 3751s are astoundingly and magnificently beautiful pieces of automotive architecture, styling and design.

Very nicely restored. I drove commercially in the '80s ,caught the last years of the GM 4106 and humps...then drove MCI 8-9. Interesting about sleeping in the racks...I used to do 24 hour spring break trips to Florida (2 drivers) out of Canada. Coming home they would be sleeping on the floor, up in racks, across aisle. It was almost impossible to get back to washroom. We would change drivers on the fly. In late 80s I moved over to the maintenance side, got my mechanics lic, but still did a few trips. I like to see restorations that are still a seated coach. I always thought if I ever did a conversion I would leave a few rows of seats in the front.

I rode a duplicate of this bus in the early "60s. This was the ride for the Rebels Quartet as they took their Gospel music up and down the east coast. It still graces the Rebels Facebook page. It was their mobile home, hotel, and practice studio. My father and I took the train south and caught up with them in Newport News, VA, then rode the bus back to South Jersey where they were singing at my dad's church the next morning. I slept underneath one of the guy's beds. During the night, it broke down, but they fixed it and we got to the church on time. Quite a historical bus and I hope to see it one day.

I drove for Greyhound from 1980 through 1987 and feel that the MCI's were the best overall buses ever made. MC 5 was the first model, followed by the MC6 , MC7 , MC8 and MC 9 . They were all very strong , durable, and comfortable. The MC6 however , was a white elephant that didn't make the cut. It was too big and cumbersome with an air actuated throttle that was a little bizarre to drive. Among this group ,the MC8 was the overall best with the 4 speed automatic that was a pleasure to drive. The MC5 was a 38 passenger single rear axle 4 speed stick that I considered to be the "sportscar" of intercity buses. Very fun to drive. That thing once went over I80 Donner Pass eastbound at 50mph for me . I've also driven Volvo's, van Hools, and Continental Silver Eagle's, and some GM models and still consider the old Mci's to be the Cadillac of intercity buses. Just my qualified opinion of course.

A funny aside- We were traveling from Upstate New York, back home to Central Ohio in our TURQUOISE 77 Dodge Landau 34. Went through Pennsylvania, we were gonna stop at Kennywood for the day. Did Kennywood, but upon leaving (and driving through town, up hill and down) the ignition wires decided to start arcing. So I looked for an Auto Parts store at which to stop and buy a new set of wires... On the scary, backfire- laden trip through town, near every traffic signal we'd come to, I tried NOT to come to a complete stop, for fear of the coach completely puking out and thus blocking traffic. I noticed that as I'd drive by each intersection, we'd be cursed, yelled at, and have things thrown at us! Why would people be SO DAMN HOSTILE? Then I realized that the Pittsburgh City buses happen to be painted damn near the same color as our motorhome... Wow. People must really pay CLOSE attention to what they ride everyday. If I was smarter, I could have made about $100 on that 3 mile ride through town!!!!

They don't ask the right question, like the driving range of the 3751, was it powerful enough to handle mountain driving with Greyhound during it hey day.

Good looking bus! What did they use to remove the anodization from the aluminum trim?
@TwoGuysandaRide4 жыл бұрын
It was always Polished Aluminum so it wasn’t anodized. Thanks for watching

@@TwoGuysandaRide What I meant is the panels you were talking about from 8:50 on. I would really like to know how they treated them to remove the layer so that they were able to polish the panels.

The 2 stroke Detroit Diesel has been making fuel into noise 1938. The 71 series engine was in production from 1938 until 1995 when it was replaced by the 4 stoke series 60 engine.

Here is the bus grease monkeys website, he has the manuals for his 4751 plus his knowledge of bus parts is close to encyclopedic. He only works on the old Detroit 2 strokes. He's brought two prewar coaches back to life on of which as for 28 years. You might get in touch if you ever need parts or service. He was just in Hibbing where he brought back a 3751 that sat for 28 years, he has posted videos of most every bus he works on. The first one he worked on the engine mount was totally almost 99 percent gone and he had a new one fabricated the supports the engine on the radiator end. I think you will find his videos on these old coaches fascinating. busgreasemonkey.com/ Cheers!!!!
