GM Silversides Coach Southwest Transit 1:43

The GM PD-4151 Silversides Coach – Southwest Transit showcases the distinctive styling of General Motors' famous postwar intercity buses. Built in 1948, the PD-4151 earned its “Silversides” nickname from its beautiful ribbed aluminum exterior panels, which gave the coach a polished, streamlined appearance. Measuring approximately 35 feet long, it accommodated 41 passengers and featured a dependable 6-71 Detroit Diesel inline-six engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The Southwest Transit livery gives this classic coach a distinctive regional transportation identity, while its rounded front end, large passenger windows, and gleaming aluminum sides capture the optimism and excitement of America's postwar highway travel. It is a wonderful tribute to the golden age of American bus transportation and an appealing collectible for vintage commercial vehicle enthusiasts.

Historical note: The PD-4151 was originally associated primarily with Greyhound operations. Southwest Transit is the livery represented by this particular model.
