In 1970 the Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps of Casper Wyoming (America’s Corps) purchased 3 1957 Trailways Golden Eagles. The drum corps had them refurbished and repainted. I remember removing the ash trays behind each seat and the small kitchens. They were in use until 1983 when the corps decommissioned them. I have no idea of there whereabouts or if they saw the crusher. I do have a number of pictures of the busses and spent many a mile in them touring the country. Beautiful and very unique one of a kind busses.

Doesn’t ANYBODY know anything about the two Super Golden Eagle buses that were on the back lot at Trailways in Dallas around 1967-68? Surely someon knows about them.

I wish someone would comment on the first post here, about the two buses that were in Dallas around 1967-68.

My Dad, Aubra M. Crisler, was the first to drive one of the Kassbohrer Setra Super Golden Eagles in the US. He picked up the bus off the ship and delivered it to Ralph Berndt in Denver.

He was then selected to operate the vehicle for nearly 2 weeks to prove it’s safety to several public officials of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana. He hauled those including three governors to prove that the bus was safe to operate.

My father was often called on by Walt Brady to try out new buses and pretty much decided what would be bought by DCSP. His favorites were the GM PD 4104

Didn’t Holman and Moody Ford use one of these at one time as a support vehicle for their auto racing team?

When I worked for Trailways in Dallas, around 1967, there were two of these buses on the “back lot.” One day I noticed a small group of men and a large truck parked near the buses. It seems to have been a “repair shop” on wheels. As soon as they were able to get the two buses in running condition, they drove them off. Seems that they were sold “as is” and taken away. I never knew what happened to them. I don’t know how the two I saw in Dallas in 1967 are related to the buses written about in this article.
