Their most popular bus is their oldest one - a 1937 Twin Coach 23R.
The latest acquisition was a pair of 1950s coaches restored by New Flyer. This 1954 Western Flyer Scenic Cruiser traveled the Winnipeg / Lockport / Selkirk route for Grey Goose for decades.
With the great windows and chrome inside and out you could tell that the bus industry was working to match a sense of the style that was luring the traveling public to the airlines.
