All 1991's shifters are on the left. 1992 models introduced the right side shift.

Well, whoever listed it put 97, however I don't see how that would be possible...
97 is not a multiple of 6, meaning there is one extra seat. Where does that seat go? Well, before 1977 it was on the large, 7 passenger bench seat in the back (in the aisle), but after 1977 that wasn't allowed.
Thus the largest it could be is 96. However I think that other regulations were changed in 1977 also, and the capacity couldn't be above 90. SOmeone on SBC confirmed this when they said "Gillig did not build 97 passenger buses after 1977."

Eric...2 chairlifts? How would that work?

As for a lift bus -I am gonna regret saying this because I will be hounded to buy it- but I am CONSIDERING (not garunteeing!!) new. We won't get it for a little while though.

If a bus comes with track flooring, you can have an adjustable amount of wheelchair placements.

Okay, after thinking it over, it would be nice to have an extra sub, and a large one will be good incase we need to consolidate!!

I will go with what everyone wants this ONE time, and buy the tandem!

18101 will be picked up later this week!

I like the number! Who's picking it up? Whoever is, leave it in front of the shop and I will take care of all the registration nonsense, and lettering.
