The true size of the Greyhound bus
The original model on which the miniature vehicle is based is the GMC PD3751 "Greyhound Bus". This bus from the second generation was built between 1947 and 1954 and is an iconic vehicle that was commonly used for long-distance travel in the USA. The GMC PD3751 could accommodate up to 41 passengers and was known for its distinctive "Silverside" body, which was considered a technological innovation at the time. The vehicle was equipped with a powerful diesel engine that allowed a top speed of approximately 100 km/h (62 mph), which was impressive for that era.
