Coast Mountain Bus Company 19550–19554 are 5 Girardin G5 bodied buses on Chevrolet G4500 chassis built in 2019. These units are the first of the G5 variety to feature the revised "bluetop" paint scheme. These units are also the first to feature backup alarms that produce a white noise type of sound similar to newer HandyDART units.
There are subtle interior design changes compared to older batches of G5s. On these units, additional pairs of speakers have been installed throughout the ceiling of the vehicle. Each pair has a light between the speakers whereas previous orders had a pair of lights without speakers. Provisions for ad space have been allocated on the sides of the ceiling, much similar to how the Aero Elites displayed interior advertisements. The lighting fixtures on the ceiling feature a black trim instead of grey. Furthermore, the lights installed under the seats have been mounted diagonally unlike previous orders where the lights were attached horizontally to the underside of aisle seats. The chassis were manufactured by a joint venture between General Motors and Navistar International as indicated by the first three characters in the VINs.
