buslist Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 At one time Chicago Motorbus Co (the sightseeing operation) had an ex CMC double decker. Stored at the old Soo Line freight house. Anyone know it whereabouts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yc720_06 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 It was originally Fifth Avenue Coach Company, roster no. 2097, a Yellow Coach Model 735. CMC only had Model 720s, a lower height version, none of which survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethebusman Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 This bus has been kicking around for a good 50 years now! In the 1990's it still had its original Yellow Coach 707 gas engine and Banker semi-automatic transmission, unlike the 735 in NYCTA's collection which has the drive train from a 5301 - 6V71 and V-drive.
