MotorCoach One

[Bluerauder]

Saw this on I-95 North during my commute this morning. "Motor Coach One" painted on the rear.



Was kinda surprised that it didn't have a police escort with it knowing that the Presidential candidates are hitting places all over the country this week.
Here's another version below called Ground Force One.



Believe it or not, the above ^^^^^^^ buses-motorcoaches are actually commercial companies and there is a disclaimer
in fairly small print behind the rear duals that says "Not affiliated with any Agency of the US Government".

BTW -- Here's a pic of the real deal \/\/\/\/\/\/

First on is a Belgum made Van Hool coach. T2145

Second one is an older MCI (American made) D model (There is a J & E above that)

Third one a Prevost made in Canada. Again the lower model coach the pictured the X3-45 top model is H3-45

You know quite about coaches

[Marauderjack]

All decoys!!

[Bigdogjim]

You know quite about coaches

After 39 of driving them (+school bus & trolley) It's all I know

[Bigdogjim]

The first two are owned by a Company I can not make out the name in the picture. The last picture is a "full" custom coach (new today $$ your looking at 2 million)

The second had a phone # plastered on the back. I doubt the White House would do that

Marathon Motor Coaches is one of the leading coach companies that does made to order Kustom work on Prevo's [Ditto on the 2 million ]

2 million!!! that's just plain ridiculous, don't care who's riding in it.

Wait until you see the Lambo come out of the lugage area.

I delivered one last year that cost 2.4 million let me tell you it was worth every dime of that

RE: the third picture...does the President really have a "Motor Coach One" in addition to Marine One and Air Force One?

Does he also have "Golf Cart One" for relaxing and "Segway One" for getting around the White House?

Came as a surprise to me when I saw the "fake" one yesterday. Did a little research and found that two (2) of the black motorcoaches were bought by the Obama Administration in August 2011. Prior to that time, they were rented or leased.

I think the custom coach is too big a target and too slow moving to really tansport a president? As much as I would like to see a coach in use.

So if they have one then I guess it's the Army turn to supply a tank driver for the coach

I want to say that the "United States of America" ones are from a company in Lansing Michigan. When I was still in high school, one showed up to pick up some students for a trip. It was pretty weird seeing one for the first time.
