 Thanks Cliff, I will pass it on,, this coach appears to have been built in Canada but no labels or tags indicate the builder.  ( It's a 73).>>>Dan

I have found the MCI itself builds, and has been building,  their brand of motorized coaches .
It started out mainly for the Canadian market..>>>Dan

It was part of the deal when MCI purchased Hussman Bus Sales it was in all the bus trade magazines I don't remember the years.I believe Luke was working for Hussman when that deal was made,MCI later sold it to Farber

If I remember right it was during the 102C model years cause I remember seeing CC listed in the 102C maintenance/parts manuals.
