I may be wrong on this - not much left of that bus - it appears that it might be a 1935-36 vintage Fageol/Twin Coach, the type that was used by Eastside Omnibus Corporation (New York City) in 1st and 2nd Avenue routes. These were known as double-enders because of a small engine on front and rear. They also had a rather pronounced awning over the front windshield and rear windows. Just a stretch on my memory. Hope this helps, hope I am correct.

This coach is similar to the 1931 Twin Coach located at the home of the owner of Mike's Place, Kent, Ohio. They both have a single engine mounted in the front. They are not of the twin engine style in the original 1927 models, where the engines were under the floor, one on each side. I agree with the comment about the dual access doors.

What sort of transmission(s) did the Twin Coach use?

I've never been able to find a schematic of the twin motor arrangement.

I have a Fageol Twin Coach maintenance manual.
All original and in great condition. Anyone interested?
