Over the years a lot of converters built a coach that was way over the top. Typically the coach would end up at an FMCA convention and it would be the talk of the show and it had a pricetag that was way beyond the average pricing.

Usually the coaches would commemorate some event like the converter's anniversary, or it would be the 500th coach or something like that.

Three or four years later that fancy expensive coach was just another used bus and its price would be in line with all the other used buses of the same vintage. It's tough trying to be top dog.
