First 102" wide bus, real groundbreaking design (other than being so ugly
it's cool), before that most buses were 96" wide. If you've been through a
modern 102" wide bus, try imagining it with the center aisle 6" narrower.
They had some REAL narrow seating in those days. Also first bus with an
air-operated door (instead of the school bus style mechanical rod), pretty
standard stuff in motorcoaches these days.
