Off Topic: Old GM bus on ebay

[whistles_n_bells]

One of the first conversions of a 1948 PD3751 (Greyhound) was done for
the President of U.S. Steel either in 1958 or 1959. I'm not sure if
Custom Coach did that work or not - I believe if memory serves - that
they did that conversion. It was frequently seen on the PA Turnpike.

The buzz during that time period was that this car "actually had a
shower!" During those days, I was driving for Continental Trailways.
Drove some interesting coaches.
