Hi: I spotted your page with a model of a GMC 4095 bus. . . . I have a real 4905 and would like a desktop sized one. Please keep up the good work on your site. Thanks, Tom Leitschuh

Jun 24, 2011 | 8:20 pmI know of one fella who makes a small
model @ about 1:50 scale.
He can paint them any way you want.
They are about 10 inches long and about
1 and half wide. I think he wants about
$250.00 for each one he makes.

Oct 10, 2011 | 11:58 pmOf all the GM coaches I've driven in commercial service, the LAST one I'd want to be reminded of would be the 4903-4905s! Nasty buses. They had the "tinny" flywheel problem that all the "beefalos" had, making shifting a nightmare, plus a clutch linkage that wouldn't work or would work, depending on the temperature, PLUS front axle blowouts due to the overly heavy front end. Radials fixed the latter problem, but I'd already had ENOUGH of those pigs! Not that the 4107 was any better. Both were somewhat unstable in high crosswinds, withthe 4905s being the worst I'd ever dealt with. Both also would pop out of first gear descending a steep grade, which could cause soiled pants in an instant. Going from a 4905 to an MC-7 was like a dream come true. On the plus side, both "beefalos" were very good riders, had HUGE luggage bays and had excellent A/C. It was the "beefalos" that drove many operators away from GM and to MCI, thus sealing GM T&C's fate in the highway coach business.
