If anyone would like many hours of reading about the many companies that built all things automotive/truck/bus, this is a place to do it:

Someone else recently linked to it about TMC, but the whole archive is a stunning collection of research.

happy coaching!

Thank you for a link to a very interesting site. I was able to read about the manufacturers of some of the coaches that I have worked on over the years, and the history wasmost facinating.

My first coach was a '53 Crown (snub nose school bus) with a Hall-Scott 504 mid-ship. No underneath storage, so I had to fabricate everything to add the components like water tanks, hot water, a generator, and more. I learned a lot in that venture, but it was a motor home, converted in 1980-1981, and lots of people thought it was over the top.

I will go back and read more in the future, so thanks for the link.
For some, patience is a virtue.
Dealing with me, it is required.
Thank God - He is always patient.
