Added to the Fun Fleet collection
This bus was purchased from Rochester, Ny. Only 14 of these buses were built. I needed it to complete the Fun Fleet Collection in order to have all of the 35-foot Suburban models. I lucked out and found this one and drove it back to California.
When and Where Did it Go?
I had #96 for several years and was a good bus in that I never did much to it except general maintenance. Fun Fleet Bus #96 was sold to a private party.
Why This Bus?
I picked this bus for the Fun Fleet because it was so unusual and not many were made. We had a lot of fun bringing it back to California. I drove it to New Jersey and stored it there for a while. Then we drove it to Illinois to visit Kenny's aunt who was a pastor at his church. We also picked up a pair of RTSs from Madison and we all left for California. everyone wanted to drive #96 instead of those awful RTSs.
