Back in the 1980s through elementary, intermediate and High School those busses were popular. Every time riding with my older sister down Waianuenue Avenue after school, one of those old busses would kick on the jake and wake me up. I’ve always loved diesel powered engines. As a kid, I only got to ride on gas powered busses. The first time I got to ride on the Crown buss powered by the Detroit diesel engine was awesome. That was back in 1982.

That bus sounds like a 7 second V8 racing down the drag strip!

Good for a very old street racer like me! I can make lots of noise and power shift all day, and not break any traffic laws or risk any lives!!! That’s the reasoning that got me into the bus hobby

NOTHING about this bus is bad. It sounds so good when shifting through the gears. That Detroit is pure ear candy to the point I would rather listen to that instead of music.

the straight six detroit with the symmetrical header arrangement is probably my favorite sounding engine ever.

Old school shifting like he's licking postage stamps, I 100% concur I'd rather be driving the ole crown than any million dollar super car any day.

Amazing! How is it they were just put aside and not driven for thirty years? That Detroit Diesel sound is well remembered from the city transit buses here, back in the day.

Something I would never get to hear where I live. Straight piping and noise laws are so strict here.

@aljenningscrownandgillig 10 ай бұрын

Laws are strict here too but we only drive as a hobby so nobody seems to mind

They don’t sound like that no more with all the EPA standards.

They don’t run or drive like the new junk and they last 50 years

@illuminatadarlington50 Жыл бұрын

@@aljenningscrownandgillig I highly doubt they even had to retire many of them. They just wanna be cool and hip with the new greener stuff. I mean I get it’s hard to maintain a bus after they quit manufacturing them. But even he really old buses probably still have service in them

Also. It’s Crowns and Wards that just seem to run forever. Some of those buses top out at 30 years of service some districts still operate them. If they still made the parts they could probably run another 1 or 2 decades at the least

How is it that you can shift without using the clutch? I was alwYs told that it will strip the gears.
