I found this old pic of busses at a bluegrass fest in Dixon, Mo. Can you name them?

The one on the right is an old Flexible. I'm not sure of the one on the left..possibly a Kenworth? The third bus on the right rear is also a Flexie. HB of CJ (old coot)

Nah, Boomer - they're just RH drive models! ;D

Agree on the PD3751 Silversides on the left. However, both coaches on the right look like Flxibles to me, most likely Clipper models. Note the radiator air scoop on the top of the rear coach - never saw that on a Gillig. Also the side windows look like early Flx parlor models.

FWIW & HTH. . .

I'm not sure about the buses but I think the tail light of the wagon in front is a 1964 Ford Fairlane Squire.

I believe that is a '66 Fairlane, not a '64. Could be wrong though. I had a '64 Sport Coupe with the factory 271 hp high performance 289 and 4 speed. Ah, why did I sell it in '70?

Here's a quick way to disinguish the PD3751/41 from the earlier pre war Silversides (3701, et al). The 3751's were a couple feet longer; were all 6-71 powered; had a driver air vent in front; A/C door in the middle not front bay; front dog oval facing the driver, not curb; and a different front bumper. A little trivia, lol.

Yes it is a 66, I showed a 66 Ford but called it a 64. The 64 had round tail lights.

When i first saw the topic title and looked at the pics, i thought, yeah, i can name them. I would have named them Melissa, George, and Ruth, but then i realized Michael was asking if we knew what brand they were. Sorry,... just my sense of humor, i look at things a little differently than most people, i think it is because i am left handed. ;D

We should start a left handed forum. We are geniuses supposedly ( I was left out of that one) and the creative ones. Hey we all have that eh! That must be why right handed turns in the bus are a pain some times?
