FC's never had center doors. Well I was employed by the US Navy at
Bremeton Naval Shipyard they had a fleet of buses to move people
around. One of thies old buses had a center door and it was a
bluebird!!! Kind of an interesting old bird as before it came to the
shipyard it was used by the Air force to move prisoners. It had a
cage in the back for just this purpose. I think it might have also
been a 31 footer or maybe a 33?
