What a fun find, thanks for posting!

This is gonna sound silly, but that little measure or two tune accompanying the Periscope brand is awesome. Inspiring and piques an inner curiousity of the history content. Great channel guys.

Great glimpse into Automotive History. Love those buses!

[@sugarplum5824]

I helped chaperone lots of field trips when my children were in school. It was always a treat when a chartered bus took us on the road. The school buses were noisy and uncomfortable.

Screaming dependable Detroit Diesel and super high quality stainless steel bodied GMC bus

[@tedcole9936]

Detroit Diesel was one fine group of engineers.

Another great video P.F. 👍🏽👍🏽🚌

[@eddieafterburner]

13:00 “Our modern highways and turnpikes add a big extra safety factor … added ease and comfort … wide sweeping turns” Shows image of “modern highway” with truck skid marks veering off edge of “wide sweeping turn”

Buffalo Bus won’t you come out tonight Come out tonight come out tonight Buffalo Bus won’t you come out tonight And drive by the light of the moon 🌕 🚌

I remember those only too well for their metronome-like ride.

[@danstinson7687]

1970s? I was thinking 1963 to 1967ish.

[@Don-cs7fe]

Definitely from 1963 or 64. The clothes & the green Buick Rivera are not from 1970’s. The early 60’s were like the 50’s in dress. 1965 & on were a different world

[@sd31263]

This is from the 1960s. There are no 1970s cars, and the soundtrack is definitely from the 1960s.

[@davidgold5961]

Great video! Could someone please tell me if this bus is shorter than the modern ones? I think it’s a bit shorter. Thanks!

[@ericlind454]

It is a GMC PD4107. 35 ft long. The PD 4903 and 4905 was 40 feet long.

[@jimmyohara2601]

Shorter ?? which one is short ?? 🤔.

[@gs8259]

It's all fun and games until Ethel pinches off hot logs fresh from the press and melts the paint from the aluminum.

[@Don-cs7fe]

The clothes of people & the Buick Rivera are not from the ‘70s. Probably 1963 or 64

[@DTD110865]

A lot of the people there are old, and are more likely to have clothes left over from the early-1960's.

[@boblester8641]

Buses were much cleaner then

[@rondrake3720]

But no longer in American built vehicles
