Silverside Sells to Museum

[Boomer]

PD3751 Silverside, also known as the "Renner Bus" and the worlds nicest Silverside has been sold to the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum in Virginia.  This is a wonderful large museum owned by the Jones family. Glad it will now be enjoyed by a much larger audience.  Thanks, John for being
the bus's caretaker for the last 7 years.

What Van & Ed said.
From a Carpenter's point of view the woodwork in that Silverside is a work of art at it's best.

One of the few 47 model Silversides around with the DDEC 6L-71 around by Gene Rusell, won't be any interior work like it anymore since we lost Larry a few years ago, Larry was a master once you got him going he  was not a early person. I kind of hate seeing that bus parked in museum

Never been to the museum but from videos it is very impressive.  I noticed that Dave and Carol Lang's beautiful Flx that he built is at this museum.  It wound up being sold to the Gadget Guru after Dave built it. Hope the museum exhibits the Silverside well and displays it's history.  That thing turned out to drive nicer than any bus that I've owned. Steer with one finger, shift with one finger, click the cruise on and enjoy the ride.

While it's nice that others will get to see it, it's a shame that a beautiful bus like that is being taken off the road. It was built to run the highways and will likely fade away into oblivion in the museum.

I've always felt that things like this need to be moving museums and not hidden in a building behind a paywall.
