Motor Coach Industries is a Canadian Corporation. The Greyhound Corporation acquired 100% interest in MCI in 1958. MCIs were built in Winnipeg, Canada.
The Fort Garry Motor Body Co. which began manufacture of bus and truck bodies in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1937 became Motor Coach Industries in 1942.
By the time that the Greyhound Corporation acquired a 100 percent interest in 1958, MCI had turned out over 500 buses, the majority for Canadian Greyhound Lines.
In 1963 MCI expanded its facilities to include an assembly plant in Pembina, North Dakota. The model MC-5 was the first in a series of new MCI coaches completed and delivered to Greyhound Lines in the United States. MCI built 300 model MC-5s in 1963 and 1964; 261 were assigned to Western Greyhound Lines.
