    I read somwhere that that was the price as delivered, and that the SS would be putting in much more equipment that they would not elaborate on because of security.

    I'm wondering who did the interior conversion. The electronics, security, armor, etc woud all have tohave been done at the same time I would think. So, who did the work?

    I heard that Hemphill Brothers built one for George Bush's campaign and leased it to the US.

    Howard Cain has leased an older Marathon H3 which we saw at one of his rallies in Atlanta.

    "Greyhound One" apparently was purchased through Hemphill Brothers Coach.

    From the pictures it looks like the bus has OTR air.

    I bet he did not consult with Al Gore on this one! Oh and the reason the VW bus would not work is you can't put 22" wheels under it. The 1.1 mil for the bus I am sure is just the shell cause we all know what they cost. He owns Chrysler, why didn't he get one of those American mad ones?
