I just love working on a Prevost....but not that much! :)

This coach was originally built for Dean Witter/Morgan Stanley. We imported the tiles from Italy and the wood from Hondoras. The roof had an electronic, ticker tape, sattelite telephones etc. It was to be our traveling financial services office. After 911 the decision was made by the marketing organization to sell the bus because it was to ostentatsious for the public image of the firm. We paid Marathon $1.5 and sold it to Budweiser for a lot less. The coach was in for service at Marathon(FL) about a year after it was sold. At that time my wife and I took a tour...yes, it had become a traveling bar with the best of beer on tap! In its prime the coach performed magnificintly. Great handling with excellant craftsmanship by Marathon. How sad to see it in the BONEYARD!!!
