Visitors to our Museum in Fremont really seem to enjoy seeing our classic Greyhounds. They almost always elicit visitor stories about when they took that one magical bus trip.
Do you remember your first Greyhound trip? Were you a child traveling with your family or a service member heading off to big adventures? What do you remember about your trip? Was it the iconic bus, the bus driver, or just the views you saw as you gazed out the windows.
When you come to our Museum, it will be like going back in time. Come visit our ‘Hounds:
 Honorary “Hound” |

1945 Pacific Greyhound Lines #1826While this Missouri Pacific Stages #821 this GM PD 3302 coach was not a true Greyhound; it was restored in the 1980’s as a Pacific Greyhound Lines bus (numbering it #1945 for the year built) by Dr. Bob Martinique. The PBM is proud to have this coach as part of the museum’s historic bus fleet… and an honorary “Hound”.

Greyhound “Silverside” #1947Our oldest Greyhound is this gleaming 1948 “Silverside” (numbered 1947) will bring you back to the post-war enthusiasm that anything was possible! In early 1972 Greyhound sold its last group of Silversides, but the very last Silverside bound for Peru was never shipped. This bus sat in a storage lot in San Francisco until 1980 when it was re-acquired by Greyhound and eventually became part of Greyhound’s Historic Bus Fleet. The Pacific Bus Museum acquired #1947 in January 2023 and is proud to have this historic coach in the museum’s collection.

1955 Greyhound Scenicruiser #8005After years of development, going back to before WWII, Greyhound finally debuted it’s post-war wonder in 1955. This split-level parlor bus was a Greyhound and General Motors collaboration dubbed the PD 4501 by GM and named the Scenicruiser by Greyhound. This bus remains the iconic Greyhound design in the minds of many fans. The Pacific Bus Museum acquired this “Travis” Scenicruiser in 2003 and has just finished it’s top-to-bottom restoration this year; 2023. Come see it and live the memories!

1955 Scenicruiser Party BusThis bus is the newest addition to the Pacific Bus Museum roster. Like 8005 above, it is an original General Motors PD 4501 Greyhound Scenicruiser, but it has been converted to an RV Party Bus by Red Bull. While there are strong feeling from both sides about maintaining “seated” originals vs RV conversions, the Pacific Bus Museum is trilled to have both. When you come visit, you can see them side-by-side and decide for yourself which you prefer! |
