Title: GM 4905 with VIN looking for history.
Post by: plyonsMC9 on July 13, 2015, 04:33:43 PM
Good afternoon kind bus folk,

New member Scott would like to know the history of his bus with VIN #  P8M4905A1399.

Would some helpful GM person give him a start on how to go about tracking down his bus history? 

Thank you & Kind Regards, Phil

Phil -

Pass on to Scott that P8M4905A-1399 was delivered new as fleet number 50 in June of 1976 to M&G Bus Company, dba Academy Bus Tours, HQ'd in Bayonne, NJ.  Most likely stayed in their fleet until 1986 or so before being sold off to a second-tier company or private owner.

FWIW & HTH. . .
