After introduction, It was Greyhound's premier coach until the late 1970s. Some of them did have decals on the side that said "Scenicruiser". Powered by the Detroit Diesel 8V-71, these old girls could fly down the highway! I drove MC7s when I worked part time for Gulf Coast Gray Line back in the 80s and early 90s. The 2nd model is the GMC "PD" series coach that was designated as "The Scenicruiser". Never drove one, but saw lots of them. They were loud! One thing about the prototypes of both these buses: After racking up some high miles they were notorious for smoking it up like ALCOs!! We used to have a joke about it.: "If a Detroit Diesel ain't leaking oil, something's wrong with it!!
