Biggest thing to happen in Blythesville in 50 years. Good to hear all those 71s all together....sounded like Dodger Stadium bus lot during the 1977 World Series. I was there in a 4102!
Like everyone else commenting, was so cool to know Lenny was next in line even with my eyes closed. Actually I kept thinking Lenny was next, but it just kept getting louder... and louder... AND LOUDER!!! 😂🤣😆
My heart stopped seeing that MC-6. Rare bird! Was that one a V-12? All those marvelous Detroit's sounded quite good. Some even had the sense to keep them wound up! Poor old Flxibles drawing up the rear. Nice parade!
My hat's off to everybody who participated in the parade, and keeps those old girls and lads in good running order. It's not cheap to own a bus by any means. I'm not the biggest GM guy on the planet, but you've still got to give some applause and respect to the folks who dedicate their time, money, and effort to keeping those things around. Some of those buses are pieces of our history, and regardless of who built them or how many or few were made, it's cool to see that some folks care enough to put a little love into something, to believe in the thing and keep it roadworthy and occasionally take it out for a spin. Some of the buses seen in the parade could use a little paint and whatnot, but by golly, that'd be a fair whack of money to put out. Better to be mechanically sound and in need of paint and polish than to be languishing in a field or a scrapyard. Couldn't help but smile at some of the buses that rolled past the camera. Obviously some have a better outward appearance on the surface, but every one of the owners deserves a pat on the back at the very least for showing up and joining in the parade. I bet some of them spent a pile on fuel just getting there.
Hi Scott, thanks for posting these for those of us who couldn’t be there. Did you get a good look at that MC-6? If so, what engine and was the conversion completed or in progress?
I wasn't referring to when Lenny was center shot, just to hearing him. By the 02:30 mark Scott had already hit the gas once and was in deceleration. You were looking...I was listening.
I'd like to know what type the last two busses were in the parade, engine air scoops on the roof. My dad was contemplating buying one in the 80s. Remember the price was 4k at the time but it needed love $$. I think it was a bluebird?
I gave up trying to count them....1.....................................................................2.......................................................................................................................3 ....................................................................................................4....................................................................5......................................................................................................................................7.........................................................................8....................................................................................................................................12..................opps!
Greyhound trailered several great buses to the Evansville rally a couple of years ago, but they may no longer be in a financial position to do so anymore. There were no actual Greyhound buses at this event.
@@MrMauserb Yeah, in subsequent videos we got tours. All are private and at least one is an RV (one of the ScenicCruisers). I guess these are just collector vehicles.
All but a handful are RVs. We use these buses to travel the country. They are almost all fitted out with a kitchen and bathroom. It is hard for most of us to justify the expense of a seated coach.
Barney Fife and Andy Taylor got to run the sireens on their po-lease cars, big day in Mayberry!
Yeah, all those sireens...a bit overkill I think.
Noise polution
No doubt! I wanted to hear more of those good ol' Dee-troits!
Your bus sounds and looks awesome! Had a great weekend!!
You could tell by the exhaust when Lenny went by.
Sounded the best out of them all.
You can sure pick out Lenny's snarl in this video. He sounds good!

It's like a pageant they way they all pause at the stop sign before "cruising down the aisle." Fantastic parade.
What the hell is wrong with the cops? We want to hear the buses, not their sirens. It’s a bus rally!
What a great parade, my favourite was the last patinaed bus.
Like everyone else commenting, was so cool to know Lenny was next in line even with my eyes closed.
Actually I kept thinking Lenny was next, but it just kept getting louder...
and louder...
AND LOUDER!!!
😂🤣😆
Somebody's gonna get a ticket for running that stop sign. 🤣
You could definitely pick out Lenny just from the sound, great to get this view of the parade as well.
Lenny is the best sounding bus there,go Lenny!
Don't change the muffler. Sounds great! Thanks for the clips. Fantastic group of buses. Safe travels!
Lenny was the man, He was a lion you could hear him roar!!
Man your Bus sounds really Good, great job with the exhaust and the tip exit way cool
Lovely sight to see, but that cop in the car, loud git lol
So cool, seeing them all running and in good shape. Lenny sounds great!
Definitely need to mark my calendar for next year. 👍
Deja vu. It's the buses they just keep coming and coming and coming.
Nice to see Greyhound and Trailway buses on the road again new ones look like an RV lol...
Gotta love how Lenny sounds 100 ft away
And Lenny was the best sounding in the hole bunch.
Wishes the cop turned off their siren upon arrival at the location.
George tried the Jedi mind trick on the cop but it didn’t work.
Great to see the buses. Pity the sirens spoils the remaining convoy engine noise. The buses are beautiful and their sound. (Engines)
Sounds excellent! But whoever painted that Silverside white and fitted those headlights...ugh. 40 lashes with a wet noodle.
That MC6...🔥🔥🔥

Tyler (Indiana Diesel) did a walkthrough on it yesterday, it's a Greyhound US conversion with an 8V71T and 4 speed Allison automatic.

Lots of Silversides in this parade. Lenny definitely now has an authoritative exhaust bark!
Lenny don't sound to bad @ 2:26!
mercy sakes alive, looks like we got ourselves a convoy . . . lol 😀
That was neat except for the one that sounded like it's muffler had fallen off.
Hi Scott, thanks for posting these for those of us who couldn’t be there. Did you get a good look at that MC-6? If so, what engine and was the conversion completed or in progress?
The mc6 is a seated coach with an 8v.
Lenny sounds good at 2:35.
Sheriff Buford T. Justice here.Has anyone seen that Mr. Bandit?
02:24 There's no mistaking Lenny...Listen to him roar! He sounds awesome!
No, Lenny was right behind him at the 2:30 mark. I was looking for that new exhaust behind the rear tire. Awesome sound.
I wasn't referring to when Lenny was center shot, just to hearing him. By the 02:30 mark Scott had already hit the gas once and was in deceleration. You were looking...I was listening.
@@88GTi Peace brother
Lenny sounds like he’s ready to race !! Looking good !! When and where is y’all’s next meet up ? I’d love to attend one. Happy Motoring ! 👍✌️🇺🇸
That cop got out and arrested him for videoing the parade.
You're in a heap of trouble boy.
I'd like to know what type the last two busses were in the parade, engine air scoops on the roof. My dad was contemplating buying one in the 80s. Remember the price was 4k at the time but it needed love $$. I think it was a bluebird?
who invited the cops?
I can tell Lenny, just look for the BIG tip...lol
Bravo.
Is Lenny the one with the a/c units on the roof/?
You start hearing him good at 2:29.
Hey There’s a classic camper and car show that’s going to be in Evansville next October you should bring the bus.
Are buses where was this at
I gave up trying to count them....1.....................................................................2.......................................................................................................................3 ....................................................................................................4....................................................................5......................................................................................................................................7.........................................................................8....................................................................................................................................12..................opps!
3:12 3:27 👍
Stop sign did not mean much to a parade I guess. Awesome video though
👍🚌
Does anyone know anything about the coaches? Are they active Greyhounds? That'd be nice of Greyhound to let them be in a parade.
