Peter Newgard exhibited several of his models of the 1936 GM-Yellow Coach Z-CT843 at the 2003 National Convention. This model represents the last Yellow/GM bus with a front mounted engine and ash framed body on a special Yellow Coach bus chassis. Peter reports approximately 750 of this and similar model buses were built from 1934-1936 and used by most intercity operators in the United States and Canada. Peter's model is a solid resin casting from a mold master he made from styrene. The really exciting news is that Peter intends to release a hollow resin version of this bus in kit form in late 2003!
