As part of its 100th anniversary celebration, Greyhound will launch its nationwide Centennial Tour on two routes simultaneously across the U.S. beginning May 29, with stops in nearly 40 markets over the next six months.

The tours will feature two Greyhound Mobile Museums configured in refurbished buses to feature displays of Greyhound memorabilia, and will feature five restored classic coaches — the 1914 Hupmobile, 1931 Mack, 1937 Yellow Coach, 1947 Silversides, 1948 ACF Brill I-41, 1954 Scenicruiser, 1968 Scenicruiser and the 1984 Americruiser 2. As Greyhound is amid a complete transformation, the tour will also feature the new, modern coaches that are currently in service as well.
