Arlo Guthrie’s tour busses then & now

[C Body Bob]

Singer Arlo Guthrie who had popular hits “City of New Orleans” what a great song that is. And also another of my favorites “Alice’s Restaurant”. He still owns the two old blue busses & said he hopes to restore them someday. And he is aware that will cost him a small fortune. The newer busses he probably leases

THAT would be awesome! Does he still tour much? We saw him at Big Top Chautauqua in Bayfield, WI years ago. He was great!

Cool singer... cool buses... @amazinblue82 would like his restoration projects.

I'd guess that @amazinblue82 would like the old ones

He must apparently get out some since he has the newer busses.

The article said he had other busses on his property & a Checker Cab. These two blue ones are special to him. These is no telling who was on those busses & what they did. LOL
I think that’s why they’re special.

You beat me to it by seconds, it appears.

Bus on the right is a Eagle model 1. The other is a Gray Hound conversion of a MCI/ GMC scenic cruiser

The history of the scenicruiser is pretty cool. First ones had twin 4/71 Detroit's for power.

I wouldn't mind having the new ones. LOL!

Yeah, well I start collecting old age next month

Internet says Arlo is worth about $10M. I am too .... in a parallel universe somewhere.

I hope he does fix his '72 Eagle and '54 PD 4501 (which isnt listed on the directory of known Scenicruisers left) but they look like they havent moved in decades (8 inches in the ground, maybe thats just the leaves?), in a place where seasons change (Wikipedia says Massachusetts) -- and that might take some lettuce to get em back on the road.

Judging by the new growth in front of the coaches, I suspect you are right.

We decided that one big pile was better than two little ones, and rather than bring that bus up we decided to throw our bus down...
