SCENICRUISING

HELLO There !

 

Do you have any interest in The Greyhound Scenicruiser ....... aka GM PD-4501?

 

If your answer is “YES” ... YOU ... should have the book titled: SCENICRUISING ... THE GREYHOUND SCENICRUISER STORY, by author Paul von Fange.  Paul and I met at The 2011 Gathering of Buses in Hibbing held at The Greyhound Bus Museum.  We became friends almost instantly as we found out each other is a stickler for details and correctness.

 

Paul ... as he intended ... produced the best informational book available anywhere on earth regarding The Scenicruiser, its predecessors and what has become of many after their days with Greyhound.  His book has almost 500 pages and almost the same number of pictures, drawings and charts!  Everything he put into his book has been researched.  Many hand-me-down stories are confirmed while others are debunked with documentation he obtained and included in the book.

 

Thru Paul’s research and help from countless sources, many little-known facts regarding The Scenicruiser are shared ... again with documentation.  His diligence and work ethic are much like mine, especially when writing in-depth reports and preparing for civil trials and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) hearings associated with pilots and companies not complying with Federal Aviation  regulations, rules and safe practices during my years with The FAA ... Federal Aviation Administration.

 

The Forward was written by none other than William “Bill“ A. Luke.  For those who may not know Bill Luke personally, he is a walking resource when it comes to the Bus Industry.  Many people contributed information and proof read sections of the work as it was developed.  The final review and editing was done by “Doc“ Rushing.  Doc, among other things, is a law professor, has been involved with buses since his childhood and is also a personal friend as is Bill Luke.

 

Having Bill and Doc involved along with a multitude of other knowledgeable and respected individuals ... you can be sure ... this book is an item all who have an interest in the North American bus Industry and Scenicruiser in particular ... should have in their personal bus collection.

 

You will find the book easy to read and the pictures, charts and drawings provided support the text.  What you will realize very quickly is Paul’s book is not a photo archive like many of the wonderful and informative books which we are so lucky to have available, thanks to people like Bill Luke.
