Title: TMC/MCI
Post by: OKIE9ERS on July 26, 2018, 08:00:15 PM
Wow...just read a somewhat confusing history of TMC and MCI...
Buses built in one place badged MCI, same bus built in Roswell badged TMC, then a couple years later that same bus changed back to MCI...Is that it in a nutshell? I had no idea...
Quite a bus history we have isnt it?

all you have to do is rearrange the letters and cut off the ears and it's the same, MCI - MIC - ICM - IMC - TMC - MCT - MCI, if you give them a texas accent it will take less time to develop, but it will confuse everyone.

I have a TMC, which confuses the insurance companies even more.

One year my insurance company sent me the renewal with 1979 Winnebago on it for our 79 MCI. I called and they said oh we couldn't find MCI so we just picked one?
