Need help in identifying my new Bluebird
I just purchased a 1970 Bluebird single axle pusher, side bath with a Diesel.
According to the research I have since done this configuration was not available in 1970. I have posted some pictures in an album titled 1970 Bluebird, please take a lokk and if anyone can offer any info it would be greatly appreciated. I was told the Diesel is a Military spec. but do not yet have specific details on the exact size and model. Thank you. |

Need help in identifying my new Bluebird
Last year on WOG a poster was buying a 1970 pusher, although it had a gas
engine. Discussion centered on a number of prototypes from that era. I noted then: "Talking today with a Newell-owning friend about chassis, and he said that he had been told by the current owner of Newell that the first Newell, just one, was built on a "Madsen Chassis." Also mentioned in the conversation (between my friend and the Newell guy) was that "Blue Bird built about a half-dozen on that chassis in 1970." Supposedly there were a number of fires in those models, which was one reason it was not continued." There is a 1965 brochure for the Madsen Chassis on E-Bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/1965-Madsen-Bus-Chas...482QQ\ cmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item18b9d947a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 On 5/8/2010 at 3:43 AM ski_video wrote: >I just purchased a 1970 Bluebird single axle pusher, side bath with a >Diesel.

I can't help you much with identifing the new coach, but I did notice it has NY
plates on it. If you can come to the WarneRama Rally in NY in June I'm sure you can get a lot of input.
