General Motors Coach (GMC) 1958 PD-4104 and 1968 PD 4903
Here are some pictures of old buses that I've taken over the years. I tend to favor GMC buses from the 1950's thru the 1970's. That's what I grew up with when my family ran a small charter bus company which ran under the name of B & J Bus Service of Jersey City, NJ. We began the company in 1972 with a 1958 GMC PD4104 purchased from Greyhound for $7,000. I even remember that it had Kentucky license plates and had the fleet number 9935, which we kept and continued with for all subsequent buses. The first picture is of that bus with my father and some passengers beside it.
Our first bus, a 1958 GMC PD4104. Greyhound colors are still evident. It had a cool Greyhound dog stamped on aluminum riveted to the front where the GMC plaque would have went. This photos was taken sometime in 1973 at Jungle Habitat in Milford, New Jersey, which was the areas first drive-thru animal safari similar to Six Flag's Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ.
This was taken in 1978 near Niagra Falls (US) and was a 1968 GMC PD 4903 #9946. It was purchased from Starr Transit of Trenton, NJ a few months before I snapped this picture. That's my dad posing in front.

Mike,
I remember your uncle Johnny D very well. As a kid he used to make me laugh with all his stories and jokes. He was a real character and a great guy. Say hello to him for me and if you could send me any photo(s) that would be great.

The late 4104s were great coaches. The 4903s-4905s...not so much.
