Original Supercoach II Drawing 1950s

 

Stylized concept drawing of the Supercoach II (LM C15) wall poster.

“The drawing was from about 1959, and the artist was Mr. Fleischman from Crown. There’s a companion intercity bus drawing as well.” – Tom Shafer

Like a lot of things in the 1950s, you’d almost expect this to be rocket-powered!

Various North Sacramento Stage Lines

     

These were in Louk Markham’s Crown Photos collection, but it is not a Crown nor is ther any evidence that it’s either a Dick Whittinton or Warren Bowen photos. (It should be re-filed into Bill Burrowes Operators Files.)

The history of North Sacramento Stage Lines was documented in the April-June 2016 issue of Motor Coach Age.

“The surviving principal in the 1930’s was Bill Pimentel, a chronic believer in small lightweight buses.
The photos are of No Sac’s second number 11, a demonstrator built in 1/37
Another source says 1938, but I believe that’s when Pimentel bought it
It has a 26p FitzJohn model 350 body on a Reo 165-inch wheelbase 3P7 chassis
That was a reversed 2L4 forward control chassis with a 309 Gold Crown engine straight-in at the rear.
Twas a unique animal.
As for the Ford RET, they had at least six new 29B’s in 942-43 including this one.”
