1932 Twin Coach bread truck

...on a shortened 1996 Caprice chassis.

Only $24k at Volo Auto Museum.

Unfortunately, out of 53 photos, not one shows how the LT1 fits in there. No mention of mileage on the drivetrain, either .

Ha, that's pretty cool actually. I don't think I could drive that though, that is the weirdest driving position ever! Seems like a lot of wasted space ahead of the driver. I'm guessing the original chassis setup was forward control or something.

Looks like 9c1 Caprice seats in there? You'd think they'd spend a dozen dollars and spring for new pedal pads and a better turn signal stalk.  

That's basically the original drivers position, but they were meant to be stand-up drive.

Especially since it's the only hint at the mileage on the drivetrain .

^I wonder if that picture is at Seashore in Maine.  That's an MBTA AM General trackless trolley in the background, and only a few were saved.  A ton of them were dumped at Billerica Shops and then scrapped, after being relentlessly vandalized.

That reminds me, sometime we should do a meet at Seashore sometime! That's a decent sized parking lot, we can ride on the old train (whatever they have in use), and there's a lot to see...maybe do a run from there to the beach or whatever afterward. Place is incredible.

Yup; that's from Transit Weekend at Seashore over Columbus Day weekend .

They have three of those tracklesses (Flyers, not AM Generals), and there's another at the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Branford, CT.  It would be a great place for a meet, and they have group rates.

Did AM General make any of them? I must get them confused because I'm pretty sure some of the regular bus versions were related, the Flyers and AM Generals. I have some MBTA plates from Billerica Shops actually, lol.

I'd totally be down for Seashore. Seasons kinda over now I guess but it's something to think about, we might be the only people on the forum who've been to that place. I want to ride on the old streetcar that used to go up by where Route 93 is today through the Fells. I have pictures of it floating around, forget the one I actually rode on that was out for the day on their track setup. I went all through the "off limits" section out back as well.
