First Production 1954 Greyhound Scenicruiser Heads to Mecum Las Vegas
Key Takeaways
- About 1,000 GM PD-4501 Scenicruisers were built for Greyhound between 1954 and 1956, and the bus up for sale is the first production model.
- The 1954 Scenicruiser will cross the block at Mecum's 2026 Las Vegas auction on November 14, with no pre-auction estimate published.
- Its split-level layout, inspired by domed railroad cars, put passengers on an elevated deck above a large baggage hold while keeping the coach lower than a true double-decker.
- Early Scenicruisers used a pair of four-cylinder engines because no suitable V8 diesel existed at launch; this bus now runs a Detroit Diesel 8V-71 with a four-speed manual.
