Product Description

Over 300 photos combine with insightful captions to present a complete history of the intercity, charter, tour and sightseeing bus industry throughout the 20th Century. Each of the 11 chapters provides an overview of each important time period, including the development of styling and paint schemes, comfort, passenger seating, length/width, safety, engines, brakes, tires, transmissions, and the influence of road conditions, Federal regulations, national parks, tourism and entertainment, and international influences. High-quality photos illustrate a vast array of bus manufacturers and bus models, including the models that were used extensively as well as some that were unusual. Represented are many interesting bus companies, their bus routes, and other interesting facts.

Unfortunately, all the buses look the same without the color pics. Judging from the beautiful cover of the book, you would think all the pics would be in color. Not so. I bought the book and had to send it back.		Ad feedback   Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
