An old school school bus in Hollywood

Here we are on Hollywood Boulevard, where we see a very old school sschool bus. This is a 1987 Crown Supercoach school bus made by the Crown Coach Corporation of Chino, California. If you notice in the beginning, I open the door by flipping the little black toggle switch. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on December 12th, 2008.

That's not a 1967 Crown Bus...

...it's a late '70s or '80s Crown.

(I can tell just by looking at

the dash)

it must have been rebuilt then, because the builders plate next to the driver seat clearly said 11/1967.

I can guarantee you it's not a '67....Ortley didn't have anything that old....

This is a 1987 Crown Supercoach. This bus has a Detroit 671 turbo and 643 Allison Automatic drivetrain. Crowns are like a Southern California staple. The weather is nice here so the buses don't rust much and there's no need to replace them (almost ever). There are still hundreds (if not thousands) of these on the road here in SoCal currently in 2010 but people from out of the area are always surprised to see them.

THAT MADE BY HOUSE ON MONTE VISTA AVE

See 1967 crowns had old metal dashes with a red brake actuator for the single system. They had rounded wheel wells, and the rear tail light were different - they had them on the back trunk doors and or on the outter sides with no reflector. The seats are post 77 high backs which didnt exist in 67. I could go on. I can tell you the day it was built if I had the job #. It used to be owned by Laidlaw also.

I've seen this baby many many times on my drives.

ah that's a late 80s Ortley #271, 38' crown...the small windows up front and the little one by the E-door tells plenty (hubbys says around '87-'88 model)

Not only a true bus of style and beauty, but the safest vehicle in the history of pupil transportation. R.I.P. the mighty Crown. Our famous Crown was the Joseph (Oregon) School District's touring bus. A lot of Crowns still roll in the Yakima River basin of central Washington state, and I recall seeing a bus yard full of them in Bend/LaPine, Oregon back in the 80's/90's.
