Interesting, the side of that bus says Peter Pan. It makes me wonder if it is/was owned by Peter Picknelly, an old friend of my father’s, who owned Peter Pan bus lines in New England. Their main distinction, back in the day, was all the buses had whitewall tires.
ReplyDeleteRetronaut says the pictures are of #10, yet the back of the bus says GM-7. They also have a link to the Wikipedia article that shows #10 in 2007, with whitewall tires and no GM-7.
I know, I know, I’m off on a tangent of meaningless trivia. Hey, that’s the way I roll. ;o)
I'm glad the post stimulated your brain cells, Bruce.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I want one. I don't know what I'm going to do with it but I want one.
ReplyDeletewww.motobullet.com/news.php?id=10326 in a post from last September says, "...classic car collector Joe Bortz rescued five of the buses, including #10. Now #10 belongs to the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States".
ReplyDeleteThe pictures from July 2010, show no Peter Pan, no GM-7, and wide whitewalls.
I knew you were all waiting, with bated breath, to find out. ;o)
