July 16, 2007 RIVERSIDE, CA-Complete Coach Works announced today that
they have entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire
BLUE BIRD Coachworks and BLUE BIRD Wanderlodge of Fort Valley
Georgia, from Blue Bird Corporation.

The purchase, which also includes the manufacturing facility located
on 32 acres of land in Fort Valley Georgia, adds a forty and forty
five foot seated coach featuring an ADA compliant design, a multitude
of EPA and CARB certified power combinations including CNG, LNG and
Hybrid drive systems, as well as the legendary Wanderlodge Motor Home
to Complete Coach Works family of transportation specific products
and services.

The purchase brings together the legacy of two families with a rich
heritage in transportation products and service solutions that can be
traced back to the 1920's when the Luce family started building
school buses in Fort Valley Georgia, while at the far end of the
country the Carson family started operating bus service in Southern
California long before the municipal bus lines came into existence.

"Having worked on buses and having been involved with the
transportation industry since I was eleven years old, I couldn't be
more excited about adding the BLUE BIRD Coachworks and BLUE BIRD
Wanderlodge products and their family of proud employees to our
family" stated Dale Carson, President and CEO of Complete Coach
Works,

"We look forward to our long term association with the Fort Valley
community and continuing to be a vital part of their economic
foundation," continued Mr. Carson, "not only will the Fort Valley
manufacturing facility continue to manufacture the outstanding
Wanderlodge and Coachworks product lines, but it will provide an
opportunity for the expansion of our Complete Coach Works operations
to the Southeast."

The acquisition comes at an exciting action packed time as the BLUE
BIRD Coachworks group finishes a 26 bus order for Veolia
Transportation while preparing to begin manufacturing of a multi unit
GSA order and the BLUE BIRD Wanderlodge group prepares to roll out
their 2008 Wanderlodge Motor Home, which they promise will be the
bench mark by which all other Motor Homes will be measured, while
also making final preparation to greet over 300 current and
prospective Wanderlodge owners at their legendary annual "Rally in
the Valley", scheduled for October 28th through November 1st at the
Fairgrounds in Perry Georgia just a few miles from their Fort Valley
manufacturing facility.

Complete Coach Works is the nations largest supplier of
remanufactured transportation vehicles, repowers, emission upgrades
and wheelchair lift retrofits. Located on a modern ten-acre facility
in Riverside CA, Complete Coach Works brings over 20 years of
expertise dedicated to serving the Transit Industry. For more
information contact Macy Neshati macy@... or 951-684-
