Many times you will hear a person say having no name
But saying that I would be lame
In this particular case, it’s a bus with a name but no company name
Got it
Let me move on into more detail
It was the Mack MV620, but where you find a Mack, there is also fact
Greyhound in 1957, they6 were asked to test a new prototype bus that had just came out with the possibility of coming to be part of their bus fleet
How neat
So Greyhound tested the bus, and it didn’t take long for Greyhound to discontinue the test
The test was conducted on a schedule from Chicago to San Francisco
Greyhound did that for a month, and when the test was complete, they gave their analysis
Greyhound had concluded that the bus was neat, but it just didn’t fit in with its current fleet
The front looked like a bus, but the back looked more like a sedan
As an added detail, the restroom is located on the Drivers side way in the back of the bus as composed the restroom conventional now on the right side or door side if you will
That the was the end of where the bus stops here began
But Greyhound Bus Management back then, they didn’t see the Long Range plan of what the Mack MV620 could have become
Imagine, Greyhound being the Nations Leader Transportation Carrier with a new structured bus that no one had ever heard about or seen
Greyhound would have been that company in introducing the bus to America
In fact, the Mack MV620 would have been marketable with the right advertising and the right advising
The Mack MV620 was a model ahead of its time back then
But that is all when
This is now with no win
Now the Mack MV620 is wandering around looking for a final home into where it could roam
Yet, a lot of people still don’t know that the Mack MV620 is still known
Yo Mack, I got your back
This was all a reflection in enlightening the fact
