That chassis on a short wheelbase was okay.
That chassis stretched out was an awful lot of bus for an ISB.

A local church has one like this or even longer than this one. Damn near the same size as their old bus, which was a Bluebird school bus.

I think it is used as a rolling bowling alley. Throwing a gutter ball might cause a problem if it went through the fiberglass and into traffic LOL. J
