I can't speak to converting to a tour bus, but my first Scenicruiser ride was in 2010 and it was 2200 miles round trip. It was the smoothest, most relaxing ride I've had in any vehicle ever!

Beautiful buses. I love the look of the buses. To me it is classic. I'm glad and happy that they are still around. When I was 7 years old in 1956 I went on one of those scenicruisers from Miami, Fl. to Fort Wayne, Ind.

back in the 60s my uncle drove a scenic cruiser for grayhound on the al-can hiway . back then it was mostly a dirt road. My aunt was the hostess on the bus. I remember my uncle telling me about it.He had fond memories about those days and he really loved those buses.

Never been on a Scenic Cruiser but I know many large trucks and buses back before the 1970's used torsion rod suspension. Though I have no experience in trucking with torsion rod suspensions, I've heard from older drivers that they rode real smooth. All the Eagles had torsion rod's. The oldest bus I've ever rode in was the popular 1956 GMC Citybus's that most cities had when I was a boy. The only bus ever drove was the old MCI's and it was okay but not like the buses today.

They originally came with 2 4 cylinder diesels joined together via fluid coupling which had problems. Those were all pulled in 1961 and replaced with the 8V71. Go to Yahoo Groups, search for Scenicruiser and you'll find a community there.
