Posted by Hart Bus on Fri Jun 13 19:00:47 2008, in response to Re: Greyhound livery history questions, posted by Eric B on Fri Jun 13 18:32:13 2008. According to Larry Plachno's "Modern Intercity Coaches" published in 1997, the MCI numbering system went as follows:Model # From To Model 95 1952 1960 Model 96 1956 1960 Then they numbered the models MC-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, 6, 7, 8,9 from 1959 to 1990. In 1990 they changed the system to 96 A2, 96 A3, 102 A2, and 102 A3 to represent the width of the bus and whether it had 2 or three axles. Those buses were in production from 1985 to 1990. When updated in 1990 the numbers were 96 B3 and 102 B3 this went form 1991 - 1994 for the 96 inch bus and until 1993 for the 102 inch bus. In 1992 the MCI 12 was introduced and still in production as of the date of the book. The 102 C3 was produced frorm 1988 to 1993. A footnote states that some 2 axle versions were produced. Lastly 102DL 3 was intro'd in 1990 as a 45 foot bus that still in production in 1997. 102 D3 intro'd in 1994 and still around in 1997. Not sure when but E, F, G H and J versions were intro'd along the way. Then for their 2000 year buses they changed the number to 4500, meaning a 45 foot bus built in 2000. I know that there was a 4501. |
