1959 Mack MV-620-D Demo Bus for Greyhound Bus Lines

Mack MV-620-D

The rarest of the rare. A one of a kind prototype 1959 Mack MV-620-D built for Greyhound. Make sure you look at all the pictures-I saved the best for last!


Mack bronze trim

The bronze trim is reminiscent of the trim used by the MCI MC5.

Can't mistaken this for anything other than a Mack.

That is an interesting looking Bus,I have never seen one like it,Never knew Mack built buses,Thanks for those pics!! Daniel | Sep 29, 06 | 12:28 am

At present I am a Motor Coach Operator with a local company. That career began back in early 1989.

Prior and earlier to that however, I worked briefly (in 1971 or so) with CDTA in Schenectady, NY. At that time, their garage was on Albany Street-the former location of Nationwide Tours. The Mack Prototype was long gone by that time, but I heard a fair amount of talk about it from a few on the "oldtimers." Most of our fleet consisted of new Flexibles, and one old GMC "old look."

This bus is still running, and has its original Mack engine in it. I photographed it at a truck show this summer in New Stanton, PA

IIRC the Mack bus is still in existence. I actually "worked" on it one evening in the 1970s as an electrical engineer. Ford Nerd | Jun 24, 10 | 7:15 pm

Yeah my dad worked on designing the mechanical areas of these when he worked at Mack between 1956 and 1985 Dan F | Jun 25, 10 | 2:03 pm
