mike962 ◊ 2025-09-07 00:39	the reason why I think bus notice the front axle is way behind the driver which clearly suggests bus origin plus the sheer size -- Last edit: 2025-09-07 00:39:35

In the end, Custom Coach (which is still in business and co-founder Kerwin Elmers still works for) converted about 25 coaches. Reading this, it matches the description of a Private Cruiser conversion by Custom Coach.
