Subject:What kind of bus do I have?
Date:03 Nov 1995 21:56:43 GMT

Topic No. 23

Explanations of bus serial numbers baffle me. Could someone offer their
wisdom on these numbers stamped on the bulkhead behind the front seat of my
bus.

 I thought I had a 221, but then yesterday I read that

This is the problem. I've got three windows behind the doors, seats, an
original two tone 
 paint, and headliner.

I'ld appriciate any comments or ideas about this.
