My dad drove for Greyhound in the 70’s-90’s I rode on many of those buses. Detroit baby! Bill Anderson’s tour bus broke down and dad had to go pick him up and take him to his show while he got his bus fixed back in the late 70’s.

This is a very cool old bus! I smiled widely when it just cranked right up and it sounds pretty good too! I drove a 1955 GMC PD-4501 Scenicruiser for parts of 2 years for a bicycle tour group out of Michigan. We went as far west as Seattle, as far south as Key West, as far east at Novi Scotia and as far north as Michigan's U.P. Those came initially with 2 4-cyl Detroit engines in line but were rapidly converted to a single 8V71 Detroit. The setup in the rear was very similar with that gearbox sending a shaft left for the engine cooling fan and to the right for the air conditioning system, though there was no turbo. The Scenicruiser only had one drive axle and one tag but both axles had duals. The Scenicruiser had 10 seats and the restroom on the lower floor then went up three steps to 41 mode seats in the rear. (10 rows with the last row having 5 seats across) The transmission was four speeds with no synchro's so it required double clutching when downshifting. To reverse, put it in first, hold a switch to activate a solenoid and, pull back to second. It had only four gauges, Speed, Air, Temp and oil pressure. No fuel gauge, or tach or even an odometer, that was on the wheel. It was such a nice bus to drive. With the engine way in the back and air suspension, it felt almost like you were flying, though it topped out at 72 MPH.

@larrybolhuis1049

@@DontbeWily the two engine original setup also included two gearboxes a 2 and a 3 speed giving 6 gears. I never saw one so I only expect that the 2 speed unit was a switch not a lever. I have read that the clutch was also just a switch meaning starts and shifts were harsh!! With the 8v-71 and the 4 speed with a real clutch a good driver could produce the smooth acceleration that bus passengers love!

great job Wiley and God bless

Going to have to run you thru a car wash to get you cleaned up-just giving you a bad time Wiley. Sorry about the messy oil film you got into. Oh my. Hang in there. I heard the owner say he wanted to sell so I bet you can help him and bet someone out there would be interested. Get him going in the right direction Wiley. Super video Wiley. Thanks so much.

Your videos are always good but as a fan of the Eagle busses, this one was a real treat. I agree they are some of the prettiest busses around. Have to say I was really shocked and disappointed at the condition of the interior. There seems to be evidence that it was indeed used by a gospel group but the trashed interior makes me think the last road trip was made by a rock n' roll band. Could be a nice project for someone, though the steel frames on these busses were notorious for hidden rust and that will need to be thoroughly checked. The rear suspension was rubber torsion axles that could be adjusted as they wore out, but only to some extent and then they need to be replaced which is costly. Like others here I was not surprised that the Detroit diesel fired right up.
