2007 Holiday Vintage Buses: Museum Bus #1263

#1263 (nicknamed "Betsy") is a 1931 Yellow Coach Z-BH-602 double-decker bus, originally built for the Fifth Avenue Coach Company. Although this bus is capable of running under its own power (unlike the "Queen Mary") it was deemed unsuitable for revenue service and was placed on display in prominent locations instead.
