Anyone know this Eagle?

I wondered about that too, either it was converted and shortened, or they didn't bother to make separate placards for these low production run custom length buses.  I think the latter is more likely as I know this length bus was made for Hemphill and a few other converters on special order.

Seems you have a nice collection Walter.  I used to have my conversion shop about 1 hour from Dayton, near Hamilton.

She certainly is sharp looking. I agree those headlights are custom. I know for a fact there are no blueprints for them in the Eagle prints. I am curious to the Serial number since it has the standard 15 glass but is a 35ft. I don't think it is a free enterprise Eagle.

I think and maybe wrong Neil I beleive Wayne has a set of the dual headlight corners too

I am going to dig through my photos I saw a model 15 in Oregon that had those corners

I'd love to see that.

Also, I looked up a few other 35 footers and they all had 2 axles, but their plates showed weights for 3 axles.  I think they just didn't bother making new VIN plates. 

Wiki also states that Eagle made 35, 40 and 45 footers from 1989 to 1993 I believe.

Anyway, bought it yesterday and having it delivered next week.

Excite!!!

I was told those are the corners the Mexicans used when they were building Eagles and ye I have a set

Been busy peeling vinyl wrap, but there was a nice reward underneath.  I had no idea, was expecting plain white or worse, maybe graffiti.

Finally some good karma catching up with me!

It looks to be in very good shape. Either it is a very good original that did not see very much salt, or someone carefully restored it.
