The History of Greyhound Bus Lines – Part 1
« on: July 05, 2024, 07:59:28 AM »
In 1968, Greyhound started building their own MCI MC-6 wide-body bus in Winnipeg, Canada.

They called the MC-6 the High, Wide, and Handsome Superbus.

They manufactured all of the stainless-steel body panels in this factory in Winnipeg.

They assembled the body shells on tilting fixtures to position them so they are easier to work on.

Each MCI bus is a testament to durability, with a significant amount of Stainless Steel used in its construction.

They use hundreds of feet of copper tubing for water, Freon, air, power steering, and brake fluid.

With impressive efficiency, two to three completed shells are transported each day on a flatbed trailer 70 miles to Pembina, North Dakota, for final assembly.

Next is Freedom Highway, a video of traveling on a Scenicruiser.

Before buses, people traveled in Covered Wagons, as seen in this video.

Meet a bus driver who has driven buses for 14 years and never put a dent in a bus.
