It looks a lot like a White, but I can't find that exact model.

The coach seems to be built on the White 54-A chassis

The White Pages ?

While I claim no expertise - either in Buses or editing - I believe this may be a White

Can't Place It

Submitted by Phare Pleigh on Mon, 10/21/2024 - 12:06pm.

I spent more than a few minutes using various searches for "vintage Greyhound Pennsylvania busses" or "Vintage intercity busses" but was unable to find one with this coach's distinctive arched radiator assembly. So, for now, the manufacturer remains a mystery.

["Busses" = kisses. - Dave]

Well, even after removing the osculation reference and trying again, I couldn't place that bus. However, fellow readers correctly identified it as a White. The arched radiator and the embellishments on the side of the hood clinched it.

That's a Pennsylvania Railroad logo on the door. Was Pennsylvania Greyhound affiliated with the Pennsy?

update:

Thanks, Notcom. I actually didn't know the answer.
