Very interesting Yes it is a propane unit and not very old either. I don't know if First covers up their name on the side of the bus or not these days, but Cardinal Coach Lines used to do that back in the day too. Southland has been doing that for years as well. And I spotted Southland Blue Bird Vision #7139 the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School Bus 101 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Spotted several brand new Thomas Minotours with tinted windows on Chevrolet bodies numbered in the 7100s today. Really nice looking buses! I believe they were 24 or 30 passenger bodies. Also spotted a C2 numbered 7169... it looks exactly like 7167. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
