WOW! Overkill, but if cash in not a problem... Unfortunately today's market does not support the amount of $$$$ involved in this beautiful GMC.

I think vehicle restoration is labors of love. I can't see how the guys on

It appears to have 16.5" wheels with SS hubcaps. I used that same cap for my spare on the 77 coach.

If was used in a commercial limo business, it may have been aged out by local laws. Some places put maximum age or time limits on their livery licenses. D.C. does that little political trick. I'm sure others do also.

Nice marketing.
Gives you an idea what pro photos can do to put your coach in the best possible light.
Analyzing they "upgrades" - not so much (Well, not $59K much).
IMHO - YMMV

Just a few months ago, a really cool business that rented out vintage motorhomes had to close & sell off the rolling stock because they couldn't get insurance to cover anything over 10 yrs old.

Don,
I reckon they're Chevy Lumina wipers.

>To me 34 ft long creates a GMC that is out of proportion
To me, the 26 is out of proportion. I haven't checked (yet) but I'll bet that the side profile of the 23 is within striking distance of the Golden Ratio and the 26 is outside it.
That 34? Eeeewwww! Makes my eyes bleed.
