Buses anyone?

Let's say that I may have found a producer for free RTS bus. What other buses would you guys be interested in? We know of the Cruiser that ESM is working on. What other big holes are there? I was thinking something along the lines of an intercity MCI that Greyhound and Trailways used extensively in the 80's to early 2000's.

I could use some transition era school buses.  All I can find are some fairly (too) late model ones, and one that looks like a caricature of a 1937 -1940 era bus.  Been thinking of grafting its body onto a 1950s truck front end, but the body isn't that great, either.  The windows would need a lot of work and the casting is solid, not hollow.

So please, some school buses in the 1950=1955 range.

A GM New Look and a PD4501.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

I have a GM New Look bus that is almost ready.  I hope to have the mold finished within a few days.  I will be working on a PD4501 after that.
