The Bus
Gentlemen I can't forget this one, I might have to buy it, but what brand is it? Any info?
Thanks
Richard

nice - I'd be interested if it weren't so far away

early Eagles, MCI's and GM's had similar wings on the front, but it was also a mark of 'Eagle Bus Line' from Quebec - oughta be some kind of mfgr's tag on it ... if you can get close to it

Appears to be late 40's-early 50's GM or Flxible.

Thanks guys I'll search in that direction, they looked a lot alike then I'm beginning to find out.
Another mentioned a "Western Flyer" and they get close but I haven't found THE picture yet. I can give the owner a call later today, I figured out who owns it
Thanks for the help, I'll report back here

It looks like an early GM to me also.As said above,there has to be a tag on it.My buddy has an old Bristol double decker with a manikin behind the wheel.What a neat but costly project.

I think that bus you're looking at is an MCI "Courier". They were introduced in the mid forties as a rear engine bus.

Check out the site below and see the photo of Courier's.

Just adding this---- if it's a Courier, here is some information on their production.
