1971 Greyhound Bus Commercial

[SteveCarras]

I love this.; This is a ScenicCruiser, whcih used be aorund when I was young...they sounded LOUD, with just four gears, a stick shift, and such. Even THEN you had to be a REAL man [increasingly absent on Saturday Morning cartoons but still abundant quite-alotta places else] to drive 'em. Excellent Detroit Disel8v71 engine.

Thank god Amtrak was started, or we would all have to take buses or cars

What was the intended market for this ad? The details were fairly specific on travel time.

Very nice

Greyhound was scary even back then. We had to take the bus once in 1970 from Los Angeles to Salinas and it was SCARY. It was my mom and my sister my brother and I and my sister and I would not sleep on the bus. We agreed to stay awake together. My mom teased us later for holding our eyes open so we wouldnt fall asleep. I still remember it. It was as bad back then as it is now!

@teletubetodd

Do you have the one with clear windows in regular wheels ?

[lesneyvshotwheels]

@rick6393 Go to my channel, I have it. It races a mini cooper and wins.

[teletubetodd]

@rick6393 Mine has tinted windows and the regular (pre-Superfast) wheels.
