Interesting that the old looks have 1+2 seating. I wouldn't think Madison would have enough standees to need it.

They were all listed in Fair condition, one of the older ones, I think it was the 1948 looked to have had dust over the steering wheel, and was probably the worst looking one in my opinion.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison could be a pretty big reason why they had 1+2 seating.

FLATBED it Joe- goes by weight, and there is actually a selection tab on the page to have it transported just need to know the weight of the bus.

Im sure theres a place for it Joe-she's a classic, look at the condition(64yrs) and it looks like it comes with tires.

Places cost money, I'm sure you remember that. In all honesty, a Wisconsin trolley museum should take at least the two older buses, that's where they belong. My preference is for the 4512. Remember, I had a 4512 (and a 4515) before and am familiar with it.
