    I think this bus is a GM PG 3302, built for the military in the early 50's. I rode on them often as a child growing up on Army forts.

    The rounded rear looks like a Flxible, but it is not. I think the rear engine is usually a gasoline GMC 6 cylinder.

    There is one like it on this site, http://www.classicbusdepot.com/bus-photos/70_0_1_0_C1/

    I rode them in Cuba in the 50's. It is a G.M. PD model (parlor Diesel) interstate type manual tranny rear engine 6 cyl. diesel watercooled.Made between 1940 and 1945. Was used by Military and Commercial bus lines. The front end was almost identical to the thosands of City buses that GM made between 1940 and 1958. No plastics or fiberglass in these babies,but they did have some hardwood pieces in flooring or inner walls!Length I believe was 36 or 38 Ft.Old Bus Fan.

    After looking at the picture of the PG3302,I realize that the Bus in question is indeed a cross between the front end of a City transit bus(TGH3102)and the rest is from a PD2904 interstate transit bus or Parlor. Since this is a Special Army issue I wouldn't know if engine is Diesel or Gas.Since the Army stuck gas engines in their Sherman Tanks(as opposed to the Germans Diesel Tigers and King Tigers)it;s probably Gas!Oh well!

    I was in the Transportation Corp of the Army and stationed at Camp Hanford Washington in 1954/55. I drove one of the PGA 3301 series busses four runs a day taking military personnel to and from the various positions around the atomic site.
    This bus was a real pleasure to drive. It was excellent on the open road and handled great on the gravel roads on the "other side of the river". The roads on the camp side of the river were paved while those on the other side were gravel. We would drive to the river and board a wooden barge to cross. Then we had a long trip on gravel to the furthest positions.

    I have donated 2 buses to National Museums and will fill in details of each later,
    At the present time I am desperately trying to locate, buy, restore, donate another bus -- 1930-40's manufactured in Europe if possible.
    My interest in older buses, along with my collecting Checker Taxis is a long-time hobby.
    Please advise if you know where I can locate the 1930-40's bus - any condition. thanks Bob Welsh (317) 780-1937
