She sounds beautiful. She's an old school diva

And since when did you start saying livery?

[ClassicTVMan81]

A livery is another term for a paint scheme.

after my videos said livery ?

[WMATAvids]

So what i cant use livery no more? lol

[ClassicTVMan81]

Does anyone know how long that paint scheme was used? Also, what do you guys call that livery and what was the first fleet to have donned it? I presume the very first WMATA Metrobus fleets to sport this then-new scheme this Flxible still has were probably the first M-A-N buses from 1979 (#5000-5043), followed by the GMC RTS II-03's numbered #9000-9115.

Oh yeah and you can tell it's 9492 because 9492 and 9489 are the only ones like this and 9489 make that annoying sound every 5 seconds.

Why did they only refurb the rear of the bus? I got video of another Flx Metro-B with original everything.

[ClassicTVMan81]

To me the back of it doesn't look that refurbished.

[bigblockz8]

The Tail lights are led's .The sign box is original, because there is no sign .

[bigblockz8]

my point exactlly
