Re: 1945 bus trip New York to Pittsburg
Out of high school I worked for my uncles bus co. The bus in the vidio is a PD3751
all I remember you need two arms and two legs to steer the thing and a column four speed shift with no syncro's was a total nightmare not to mention two feet to hold the clutch down. I rather drive a Flxible that was a pleasure. |

Strange there were no cars earlier than late 30s on the road.

The first bus I drove was a PD 4104 and then I drove a PD 4106 all over the US and 2 times to Mexico. The I graduated to an MC 8 followed by an MC 9 with a five speed. That was a real pleasure. |

I live not far from the road that I think the bus is traveling. I think it is old rout 22 not sure what it was called at that time.

Thanks for the posting. Brings back memories of travelling through the Allegheny Mountain tunnel on the PA turnpike from New Jersey to Pittsburgh to visit family many years ago.
