Couldn't agree more I'd take the last coach shown B4 a new 2 million dollar Liberty coach anytime.Exquisite cabinetry and details befitting of a quality vintage coach.🏆
I love the bus tours, Scott. Great to see what everyone has done to their rides. Love the Busopoly game and the guys with the 50,000 mile Custom Coach. Wow! The silversides with the lockers inside is a great build, too. So much cool stuff.
It was very nice to see Nick's bus. That young man traveled a ways to make that show. These old buses need young blood. Nice job Nick! And thank you Scott for finding him!
That is a nice paint job on Larry's Scenic Cruiser! MC-6 looks sharp, I love those body lines! I agree with you on the Silverside, it was awesome inside, and so was the Custom Coach! Nice show Scott!
It’s nice to watch a BGM video that has bus after bus that are well maintained and at least for this day problem free! So wonderful to see these works of art at the top of their game! Thank you for showing this wonderful collection with caring owners!
Hi guy's.....You have the most original and unique shower I have ever seen. I reckon that'll work so good job buddy. I am always so grateful when I see video's of good guy's like yourselves. If it weren't for your love and passion for these beautiful old ladies, they would all be gone now, so thank you so very much for being crazy bus guy's.
The walk around and the tours were fascinating - such a variety of styles and interiors! You tastefully did not go into the various costs and build pricing on this collection, but you can't help but notice that some folks have spent much more than others. Yet each one had its own character. It is fun to imagine owning each one as you went through, bachelor pad studio to family RV style and everything in between. But any one of them would be a blast to own. I got a kick out of the one that you were going to spray oil on the engine - never seen a bus engine look like that! Everyone here will agree, Lenny has the best 'personality' of all - even if the driver exuberantly shifted with some grinding noise a couple of times... 😏👍🏆
Some of these buses are crazy. I can't imagine that one young man who got his bus at 17. I was happy with a van at his age. That coach at the end is wonderful. I wanted a bus but the SO wanted the BlueBird and now we have 25 tons of coach of our own. You made it to the big time, Busopoly ! Thanks for the tour Scott. Wife was out so I had the surround sound on. Don't take that muffler away please!
Thanks Scott. By the way, I was salivating when you took off in your bus. That 2-cycle Detroit sound was absolutely delicious !, & the last bus, drop-dead gorgeous! I would live in it happily.
Excellent and very pleasant content on this video. Detroit Diesel engines sounds real awesome, I think it is a real American legacy to preserve and maintain on its best shape! Congrats!
Neat Video I was born in Blytheville Arkansas in 1951 my folks and grand parents farmed around there my folks moved to California in 1952 but my relatives stayed there my Grandpa and Grandma are buried there. I have been back many times and been to that bus depot Dad took a bus out of there to Memphis a few times. Love your Videos.
I drove for Peerless Stages in the Bay Area in the 80's, and they still ran a '53 Silverside, (painted), with that wrist breaking steering. I remember one day, I was driving a 4106 in the Santa Cruz mountains, when the muffler fell off! What a fabulous sound that 8V71 made! Reminds me a bit of your bus.
Some very cool buses, very nice of the owners to let you do walkthrough videos on them. Nice to see that George got his hub for the 4104, I was kinda waiting to see that. I can't imagine getting a bus when you're 17 (especially with the licence laws here in Australia), but a Silversides would certainly be a very unique first car, he's done a great job with it too.
Wow this is the best video I have seen on YT by far. Just seeing the different buses made me smile, I loved the one with the busopoly game. That was so unique. I’ve been watching so many bus videos and tiny house videos and I really have grown a passion for the tiny living. I’m hoping I can live like that one day. Awesome video tho👏
I always figured you went to school as a detroit mechanic, I was wrong. You are the Best GREASE MONKEY!!!!!! Thank you, you make my day........I had a PV4106 long time ago
Wish i had went this year since blytheville is my home town and got to meet you. When i first found your channel i was going to mention the bus station
It is amazing seeing all these bus enthusiasts. Takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to rectify one of these. I drive limo buses and I think these old buses would make a great party bus. Someone should build an upstairs. 13-6 at the top.
I was actually driving through Arkansas during this heading to Texas from NY. I wish I would have put it together, and I would have stopped. Great video!
High Scott, Thanks so much for the bus tours, we need to see more of those if you can spare the time. It's got to be a lot easier than sticking your head in a wheel well or engine bay. Take care of yourself. All the best. Dg😊
@@MrMauserb, yep and I was there. The Greyhound Station had just finished being remodeled and the Bus Rally was the exclamation point to that beautiful Art Deco building. Didn't go to this rally, sorry that I missed it.
I just started watching but have to say that gentleman's bus at 5:30 is incredible...……...as where the rest of them too. But god I cant imagine what that guy spent on that one Silverside. Just the metalwork alone to get that thing straight and then that interior. It reminded me of a old rail car that my great uncle used to own and travel in.
Fantastic buses m8. The closest we had to Greyhound in New Zealand was Mt Cook they had MCD = Mount Cook Denning. Allison Auto and they would fly. They were that good they would re body them to make new lol. No longer around but some buses are motor homes and corperate travel. Love your work...
Bus greasemonkey gets on a bus with a board game with bus greasemonkey on it....mind blown. and i agree that silverside HAS to be one of hte nicest ive ever seen.
I had seen the game before. Gary has been a bus grease monkey member since he bought his bus and he came to our first bus rally before his bus was drivable. Bus grease monkey online forum
The first time I went any where by my self was on a continental trail ways bus back in 1977 from LITTLE ROCK TO AMARILLO TEXAS...THE BUS HAD A 4 SPEED AND WAS BEAUTIFULL. ...I guess I have a sweet spot for busses because my last professional job was a mechanic on MCI 4000 E busses ....I learned that I didn't know much about busses but I always kept them running I have never been challenged as much as I was when working on busses...MY hat is off To you!!! ..
Always thought that coach converters in design~layout should attend FMCA and rallies like this one.The interior design ideas & layouts average Joe's @ these should be utilized in conversions/updates.My favorite longtime converter is Custom Coach been at it a long time.Thanks for the tours👌always nice to see peoples talent and hard work going into these rolling pieces of history.
Got a little nostalgic from watching this yesterday and had to try on my old Trailways Ike jacket. Brought me right back to jumping in those old Eagles and Buffalos.(yes it was a little tight)
What a great video. I love seeing everyone's different touches and customizing they've done on their buses. That last silversides! Wow. I sat here shouting at my laptop screen "holy S*it!" when you walked inside. I really like those custom coach conversions as well. Beautiful and quite stylish even by today's standards. Wouldn't change a thing on them. Some of the new RV's with the elaborate mill work and slide outs look too much like a house on the inside which I don't care for. I like that a custom coach still looks like a coach inside.
Buses from the 50' & 60's as the 70's & 80's look better than these modern new buses, especially Greyhound when they went from the red, white & blue colors to the dark blue. When I was a kid I had a Buddy L Greyhound bus in the 70's & wish I still had it. Thank you for sharing, enjoyed video.
This is the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen. I want one. Where could I start to looking for one. I don’t care if it runs as long as it’s all there. Thanks for all the cool videos.
Wow does that take me back to my kid days I done many a mile on a Bone Chaser accross Canada many times I'd fall asleep heading home and the Driver Carl Stychin would stop in front of my place come back or give me a push Your home young man every Friday I'd wait on the hwy 2 pm to go to Edmonton Alberta on the #2 hwy from Athabasca Alberta. AWESOME VID Scott. 4.25 c fare for 70 miles
PD-3703 = the "Camelback Cruiser." Those were aimed at charter operators and Trailways affiliates for use on low density routes. They're a direct descendant original steel WWII "Victory Cruiser" which came either as a PGA with a GMC gas engine or a PDA with the 4-71. The Victory Cruiser front end was also slapped on to the Yellow transit body to make the PD-4101.
What a fantastic tour of beautiful machines. Thank you so much, Scott, for sharing this!
The last Silversides on the tour was indeed gorgeous. Even a modern Class A RV can't match the detail in that rig.
The typical modern class A "plastic palace" couldn't ride the tail wind of that classic beauty!
Oh God yes!
Couldn't agree more I'd take the last coach shown B4 a new 2 million dollar Liberty coach anytime.Exquisite cabinetry and details befitting of a quality vintage coach.🏆
there is a full walkthrough with all the details here on youtube.. 1947 Greyhound restored by grandfather’s love
The interior of that Silversides was done by Paradise Coach Interiors in Coburg, OR. You don't want to know how much it cost!
Truly amazing how well they all stand the test of time.
Thanks for the video.
Great video, Scott, very interesting to see and compare the insides! You're making us all bus nuts yet!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I love the bus tours, Scott. Great to see what everyone has done to their rides.
Love the Busopoly game and the guys with the 50,000 mile Custom Coach. Wow! The silversides with the lockers inside is a great build, too. So much cool stuff.
Some beautiful buses the custom coach was amazing and the last silver side was something else to see. Thanks for sharing.
This is the rolling art form of our day. Master craftsmanship delightful to the eye. Thanks for the hard work on the video.
Best half-hour I've spent today. Motor homes are sooo 2000 - the wave of the future is retro. These people are really fond of their buses.
all these buses and coaches are just so rock and roll its unbelievable. Labor of love with all of them.
It was very nice to see Nick's bus. That young man traveled a ways to make that show. These old buses need young blood. Nice job Nick! And thank you Scott for finding him!
I drove for Greyhound out of Thunder Bay Ontario in 1980, and finding this channel brought back a ton of wonderful memories for me. Thank you.
That is a nice paint job on Larry's Scenic Cruiser! MC-6 looks sharp, I love those body lines! I agree with you on the Silverside, it was awesome inside, and so was the Custom Coach! Nice show Scott!
What a Great presentation, The Busses have so Much Class.
Thanks Guys for Sharing.
Your rig is fantastic and the changing gears and the sound is incredible, thanks for the tours of the buses, I just wish I had the money for one!
these amazing historic buses/motorhome absolutely amazing......thnks from uk
How creative Larry! I love your bus it's wonderful!
So many great old ones, thanks for the sharing Scott.
It’s nice to watch a BGM video that has bus after bus that are well maintained and at least for this day problem free! So wonderful to see these works of art at the top of their game! Thank you for showing this wonderful collection with caring owners!
Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your video, ..thank's for sharing..👍🇦🇺

If it weren't for your love and passion for these beautiful old ladies, they would all be gone now, so thank you so very much for being crazy bus guy's.
Really impressed by the fact that these buses are being saved and kept going. Most are a credit to their owners.

Scott thanks for the bus tours. Very interesting. And very retro!
Just came across your videos. Been watching for five hours. I always loved Greyhound and Trailways. My favorite is the 1970 MCI MC-6 Super Cruiser.
Some of these buses are crazy. I can't imagine that one young man who got his bus at 17. I was happy with a van at his age. That coach at the end is wonderful. I wanted a bus but the SO wanted the BlueBird and now we have 25 tons of coach of our own. You made it to the big time, Busopoly ! Thanks for the tour Scott. Wife was out so I had the surround sound on. Don't take that muffler away please!
Great tour of these classic buses..! That 47 Hound was incredible. Want to see the rest of the art decco inside..
Scott, that was wonderful!
Thank you for making this video. All of the buses are great
Great tour and that 47 at the end, wow. However, that 47 leaving town, soooo cool 😎... Safe travels BGM
Thanks Scott. By the way, I was salivating when you took off in your bus. That 2-cycle Detroit sound was absolutely delicious !, & the last bus, drop-dead gorgeous! I would live in it happily.
Wow Scott those are some good old boys there. Thanks for the tour.
OMG. What glorious machines. Lucky you getting up close!
Very cool! Thank you for sharing as always! There will be a bus in my future for sure
Excellent and very pleasant content on this video. Detroit Diesel engines sounds real awesome, I think it is a real American legacy to preserve and maintain on its best shape! Congrats!
I love seeing all of those buses! It's great motivation to get my ass in gear and get mine back on the road. Great Video 👍
If you dont Id buy it
Love the Lenny driving at the end!

I remember one day, I was driving a 4106 in the Santa Cruz mountains, when the muffler fell off!
What a fabulous sound that 8V71 made!
Reminds me a bit of your bus.
That first scenic cruiser is an awesome machine. Love the near orginal seats, one could fall asleep in minutes on those.
This video really makes me want one of the older buses, just finding a good one to start with, as so many are neglected. Great video Scott.
Some very cool buses, very nice of the owners to let you do walkthrough videos on them. Nice to see that George got his hub for the 4104, I was kinda waiting to see that. I can't imagine getting a bus when you're 17 (especially with the licence laws here in Australia), but a Silversides would certainly be a very unique first car, he's done a great job with it too.
Ah I just love to hear that exhaust sound. Love it!!!
Wow this is the best video I have seen on YT by far. Just seeing the different buses made me smile, I loved the one with the busopoly game. That was so unique. I’ve been watching so many bus videos and tiny house videos and I really have grown a passion for the tiny living. I’m hoping I can live like that one day. Awesome video tho👏
That sound in the end is addictive! Somewhat nasty, wicked and simply awesome!
I love that Monoply board idea. That was a great idea!!!
I absolutely love the tours. Thanks so much for doing this video, my bank account doesn't say thanks, now I REALLY want one!
I always figured you went to school as a detroit mechanic, I was wrong. You are the Best GREASE MONKEY!!!!!! Thank you, you make my day........I had a PV4106 long time ago
Err maybe PD4106 8V71
Great video as always Scott!
Wish i had went this year since blytheville is my home town and got to meet you. When i first found your channel i was going to mention the bus station
G'day Kevin from Australia.
WOW such beautiful buses they really are a credit to their owners. ✌
I just read your post with an Australian accent in my head...
It is amazing seeing all these bus enthusiasts. Takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to rectify one of these. I drive limo buses and I think these old buses would make a great party bus. Someone should build an upstairs. 13-6 at the top.
Wow I like Nick's bus I am crazy about the side aisle and the blond wood. The Custom Coach is very cool as well.
Fantastic tour so jealous.
Yeah, George got his hub!! He must have been a seriously happy camper!
great tours, and wow neat howl 👌
The sound of the last bus shifting was really awesome!
nice, clean!! well cared for.. glad to see it....
I was actually driving through Arkansas during this heading to Texas from NY. I wish I would have put it together, and I would have stopped. Great video!
High Scott, Thanks so much for the bus tours, we need to see more of those if you can spare the time. It's got to be a lot easier than sticking your head in a wheel well or engine bay. Take care of yourself. All the best. Dg😊
That sound in between those buildings ,damn it sound’s good
I'll bet the this town has never before seen so many Greyhound buses in town at the same time. Such a sight!
Well, except for the last vintage bus rally there a few years ago.
@@MrMauserb Really, that's cool
Hopefully this will not be the last.
Used to watch them downtown in Erie, PA leaving the station on our narrow streets, those guys were were going full lock left to get out.
@@MrMauserb, yep and I was there. The Greyhound Station had just finished being remodeled and the Bus Rally was the exclamation point to that beautiful Art Deco building. Didn't go to this rally, sorry that I missed it.
I saw a Silverside on the road in Kelowna today and put a big smile on my face. Was straight piped as well.:)
Neds bus has gold leaf mirrors! a flash from 1970! I love that nostalgia! 17-18-19 year owners. what does that tell you about old bus hugs! Love that.
Very much enjoyed this video bro, cheers for posting as we got nothing like these buses in NZ
Lenny sounds like the goblin truck off Maximum Overdrive now. Really cool sound.
I believe that was a 8V71 or 12V71
Haha... I was just thinking exactly the same!!
Nice stuff. Your bus sounds great!
I like the board game and the latch holder done by that guy's kids pretty cool
You saved the best for last. You are turning me into a bus aficionado.
I just started watching but have to say that gentleman's bus at 5:30 is incredible...……...as where the rest of them too. But god I cant imagine what that guy spent on that one Silverside.

the 47/aluminum fab guy/ OMG!!! Class, style, art.
The kid is really smart. He will always have a place too live. Great idea.
I love all these vintage buses they mean so much to me I wish I could own one one day
My favorite bus the pd-4501 scenicruiser! I loved riding greyhound as a kid. I loved the bus depots and the gift stores.
How nice to see Blytheville again. I lived there in the 80s.

so nice for those of us who are 55 years old like me. I want to visit a place like this
Nice tour job!
Got a little nostalgic from watching this yesterday and had to try on my old Trailways Ike jacket. Brought me right back to jumping in those old Eagles and Buffalos.(yes it was a little tight)
NOW THAT LOOKS LIKE GREAT FUN I LOVE IT
As a kid I Road those buses and those are some beautiful buses on the inside

Rj Long, thanks for the info. I've never heard of them till now. They do nice work.
Mr RJ Long knows his buses. I have read some of his work.
that vintage chrome table looks like an original kohne..nice

what a great way to have fun, crusing around in a vintage bus
Awesome rally. More like this please.
That last Silverside was just SICK!!!
This is the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen. I want one. Where could I start to looking for one. I don’t care if it runs as long as it’s all there. Thanks for all the cool videos.

The Huggy Bear Artwork is cool. That was a very good artist.
When he first mentioned huggy bear l thought he was talking about Starsky and Hutch.
