New school becomes old school

Interesting video. They turned a modern coach into a retro one. Not sure what use it has for DIY conversions, but cool to see nonetheless.

Watched the whole video. Simply incredible. What was done, the 6 week build, and who knows what $$ were spent. Shows what can be done with enough craftsmen and money.

Ok - just noticed the coolest part of the whole thing...bottom up beer dispenser. Who knew there was such a thing? Guess I live in the backwoods.

It will be interesting to follow up with this unit as time and mileage rack up.

That will be the test of the design and workmanship.

Those 45 footers flex a whole bunch.

You will notice the stock nose appears to be still under there, so if it all goes inverted...

There's a coach for a busnut!

Happy coaching!

I agree. 6 weeks and $$$ gets you a facade. Let time test this pretty boy. After 40 years in custom aircraft, I can tell you it takes longer to get the chargeline established. Just watching the cushions made tells me enough about the quality. This was made for tv/billboard quality. Period.

Life expectancy for that rig is probably no more than a year. It is a marketing tool and beyond that time period it will no longer generate the excitement required by the marketing department and I'm guessing it will be sold off at that time at a loss and will be written off as a promotional expense. Nothing wrong with that, it's the way big companies operate.

But is it on point as a marketing effort? Who exactly is the target market? Will it persuade them that CDW is the leader in innovation? Maybe. Somebody obviously thinks so.
