Mint classic restored Scenicruiser tour

[@geraldwahlberg7410]

My dad worked for Greyhound for many years and drove the old Scenicruisers. He would have loved this. He has been gone since 1972.

[@williamcekuta]

My father used to drive an old B61 Mack wrecker part time in the late 60’s and early 70’s for Ohlers towing out of Washington DC . I remember riding with him and towing some of these buses that had broken down . I rode with him to several different states around the DC area . He would haul them to the Washington DC garage for repairs . Was always fun to go along .

[@thegodblogger3812]

God, I rode a bunch of these as a young kid up until my last Scenic cruise in I guess 1969. I was pissed royally when I rode my first MC-7 in 1972. I never forgave Greyhound for pulling the Scenics as their flagship. Lol

[@11thhourcustom]

Those buses are so cool!

[@edwardcalvert]

I am a truck driver and earlier this year while at a truck stop in Rochester, Indiana got to see a Scenicruiser go by and was in awe and amazement at the sight. I was laughing when I heard the Detroit 8v71 running with the driver shifting the gears on the stick shift transmission. The bus was converted into a motor home but I knew what it was. Thank you for sharing this. The beautiful restoration of your Scenicruiser is so nice that it looks as though it's brand new and never been used. It's only possible to just get a little something with other videos of this iconic bus in terms of what it was like to ride on one.

[@Longbeachliner]

Amazing, beautiful coach!

[@3DayFlagman]

What a trip down memory lane! My father drove them when they were brand new! I remember riding in one from Minneapolis to Seattle in the early 70's. If only I could post a photo of my father in uniform in front of 8239.

[@ericgreaux9057]

You have done beautiful work! Congratulations! It brings back memories of traveling from New York to Alabama in the front seat of the upper deck.

[@thegodblogger3812]

I'd just about give my first and last born to ride one of these again

[@goinghome483]

Its so Beautiful 😍 Thank you for a look inside, I remember back in the day lat 60s and 70s on long Trips with my mom

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

First!!!!!!!! That coach is immaculate. Very impressive restoration. Thanks Scott!

[@keitht7546]

Wow I remember riding on those in the sixties and was my favorite. There was like it when leaving Chicago riding underground listening to the two stroke Detroit sing. Thanhs for sharing Stay safe✌🏽

[@EcoGreensFarm]

That's amazing. It looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.

[@chaimuriah4640]

[@cohenjadiel9558]

@Chaim Uriah Happy to help xD

[@mcimc558]

Outstanding . My father worked at the DC shop from 55/85 . As a kid he'd pick me up to go on a tow or road call. One tow in particular was a cruiser # 4263 through harbor tunnel. A thrill. you no it. Tow truck was built from a Z 250 6/71 cruiser rear axle . Thanks for the memories sir

[@garykirin5150]

My dad also worked at the DC garage from 1960 until he retired in about 1985. His name was George Kirin. He was a mechanic.

[@johnnygonzales3211]

I rode in one when I was ten years old back in 1968 most beautiful bus ever.

[@davidchriscastillo2499]

Wow! Magnificent! It's a shame that this can't get into bus service again since I'm sure many folks would have liked to have ridden on it once more. It's really a relic of transportation history that could also be displayed in some museum.

[@chuckhodges9227]

Amazing! The pd4501 was my favorite bus

[@michaelfinney2160]

Beautiful ! Takes you back to a time when things were simple ! Have a Blessed Day

[@joptionaljohnson6302]

Well said

[@jamesmiller5304]

Oh wow my early 1970's child hood coming back, when Greyhound and Trailways were good thanks for the memories.

[@kennypayne9259]

A blast from the past. My dad owned 2 of these buses. A 1954 model and a 1956 model. The 54 was #104 and not sure what the 56 was. I learned to drive buses with 54 model. Drove some charter and some private coach before I ended up in a truck for 25 yrs. Quick history on the 54 model. We bought it in 1975 in Dallas. Turns out it was used as a crew bus for the Led Zepplin tour. Slept 13 and we found alot of motel keys.

[@sanfranciscobay]

It was like the 747 Commercial Jet back then. Total luxury.

[@eddiescott1949]

Absolutely fantastic ! That must be the best example today in entire USA 🇺🇸

[@johnnygonzales3211]

I'm 66 years old and I road in one of these beauties when I was 10 years old in Los Angeles.

[@coltonpreslar3026]

Excellent, amazing work on the restoration do another video with it in action

[@jimo199966]

That's the result of 15+ years of patience and love. Even the coach HVAC works. The foglighrs were also brought back, which is rare. Most were removed, and the bumper cutouts were blanked..

[@Bill23799]

That is a beautiful bus. Well done.

[@lbroome]

Wow that is beautiful!

[@alonzowinston5470]

I finally had a chance to ride one home, when l was in Washington, going. Home!

[@strayhound61]

!!!!!! INCREDIBLE !!!!!! Every detail of that coach is just as I remember from my childhood restored in perfect detail. Don't find many with the original yellow entrance area. What an OUTSTANDING RESTORATION! Brings back so many happy memories. Love that bus!! Thanks Scott! Where is it, buy the way and does he ever take it out?

[@ThisOldBus]

I don’t think it has been driven in a while, I won’t reveal its location in this public forum.

[@strayhound61]

@@ThisOldBus No worries. Won't be that far west for a LOOOONNNGGGG time. Like to see the engine compartment if you got that and maybe the luggage bays too.

[@mkmcclure]

Really wonderful to see. Thank you for sharingm

[@millcity9711]

Outstanding!

[@lonnybush5612]

In the 80s and 90s i use Greyhound many times between southern Illinois and Montana for work. I was to afraid to fly.😛

[@charlesmair26]

AMAZING...!

[@TooManyHobbiesJeremy]

Nice! I do prefer the yellow interior to the dark green

[@GinosGarageUSA]

That’s an amazing time capsule, is this somewhere where you can stop and see it or is it private? Would love to see it one day.. I am trying to make a list of things to see when we are over that way.

[@ThisOldBus]

It is private but if you contact me privately before you come out I can share some info.

[@rondressler4510]

Beautiful bus, but what do you do with it? Do you just stick it in a museum somewhere? Do you just leave it in a garage? What good is it!

[@tedkulinna9093]

Beautiful restore BUT it is a shame they painted it the yellow color downstairs. They were always painted "greyhound green". I drove for Greyhound from 1962 till 1974. Worked the extra boards out of Pittsburgh. We always had a "scenic" on the NY/LA thru sections. The 80& 81 hundreds were west coast "cars" with plates to run cross country. I could have driven that 8028? In those days you had to have a license plate and fuel sticker on the coach, for every state, it operated in!!!! I have driven almost everything GM , MCI and Eagle produced, till I retired in 1997, and nothing ever compared to driving a "good" scenic. I had the distinct pleasure of driving Tom McNallys scenic 8149 three years ago. It has all of the original license plates both front and back.

[@ThisOldBus]

I’ll bet you’ve got some great stories. Thanks for watching.

[@adolforuiz3723]

Hola soy de ciudad de México pero me encantan los autobuses greyhound en especial este escenico ó panorámico luce de maravilla Una excelente pieza de colección, gracias por compartir

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Awesome, how does it run on the highway. The engine

[@jamesrobinson8768]

Hey, that's at Ted's in Williams California.

[@ThisOldBus]

Shhh the location is a secret

[@zbudda]

Is the drivers area, dash board and wall panels, metal painted with a 2 pot thick gloss shine, or is it a Bakelite substitute custom build? Like to have see how immaculate and reconditioned the engine is?

[@wernerdanler2742]

Get a load of that leg room! Don't see that on any bus or plane these days. Lol

[@michaelzang9739]

Is this the scenic cruiser that was at the fall? Hershey car show a couple years ago. I was a transit bus mechanic for 27 years and I was really impressed with that bus.

[@ThisOldBus]

I don’t think so

[@L-Taraval]

Unfortunately no. This particular Scenicruiser hasn't been out of state since its restoration

[@The2Flyboys]

Unbelievable!

[@macelius]

Wow, amazing piece of history preserved. What's the air flip switch on the control panel for?

[@joptionaljohnson6302]

Like a dehumidifier that works a vent.

[@pd4501771]

Parking brake

[@williamdeegan7840]

Where were the numbers 826 you talked about ? The numbers on the were 8028. Just curious. This is the BADDEST BUS EVER.

[@ThisOldBus]

Vin number

[@SilversidesSage]

The VIN plate is on the front wall as Scout is walking up the stairs

[@1985kenworth1]

Wow!!
