I gotta respectfully agree with Richard.  No visible means of structural support in the upper sides or roof.  Just comparing it with the 1976 or later late Crown Supercoach Schoolie which had thick 4130 roof and side supports every 19 inches.

Now that I can see how little structural support there is up there I for one would always be worrying about that possible but very rare roll over type accident.  But; that being said it might make a great Bus Conversion project for some.

You can see the crash results on a  MCI EL on Youtube it is amazing if you look at the roof line at the 35 mph crash with a bus weighing 44,000 lbs those buses are tough

Actually did much better than I thought it would given the amount of glass and scarcity of visible skeleton up top.

The Charter Bus outfit that I drove for got a new Renaissance to try out years ago, and cracks developed in the windshields within weeks. The dealer replaced the bus with another one, but that one cracked as well. They went with the J4500 instead, which did better. I would hope that they corrected that problem at some point, those windshields would be expensive to replace for an individual.

They did have a flexing problem for a couple of years it was solved, mine has a 3x3 solid stainless bar under the bays that runs the full length of the bus
