Eagle Model 25

[rusty]

The thing I am must proud of is that bus never left my shop for 13 years. All the work you see  I did. I had help with the stretching of the aluminum upper siding. It left the shop to get painted. I had a man work for me for a year that did a lot of the sanding of wood. He is a better painter than me thus the under carrage and the finish of the wood. I also ran a company  at the time and was the first one there in the morning and the last one to leave. So when I get ask what about the third bus I answer it would be the most expencive bus ever built the boss will see to it and get to enjoy it with some young buck. The building of the bus was for the most part  an escape from reality I would go to the shop turn on the radio and lose myself in the bus.

P.S. Gary if you are reading this thread give me a call me emails coming back unsendable

As a Eagle owner we all knew when Greyhound the owner of MCI bought Trailways,and Eagle the Eagle was gone.they raided the assets of Eagle to pay for the Greyhound drivers' strike. Same as when Prevost got their hands on Blue Bird once the Wanderlodge and intercity /commuter production buses were gone (sold) Prevost (Volvo) sold their stake in Bluebird,now Bluebird is just for school bus manufacturing. It's the American way buy your foe and shut it down

There was a group that bought what was left of    the non school bus unit of BLUEBIRD which included the WANDERLODGE, EXPRESS 4500 and Q/CS. It didn't last very long though.

That was Complete Coach Works in Riverside Ca they are still in business,he just let Blue Bird go because of so many lawsuits he wasn't told about ,the owner of Complete Coach was killed in a car wreck a few years ago,look up Complete Coach Works they do tons of electric conversion and rehab work for Transit operators across the USA
