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

jarge Cruising in the Passing Lane J Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 221 Winnipeg Manitoba	Truck'26! 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. George http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgu...%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:offici al%26sa%3DN Just adding this---- if it's a Courier, here is some information on their production. http://www.angelfire.com/ca/TORONTO/builders/mcilist.html
