Serious question

I stand corrected. I did not know they are all metal skins.

I was lamenting the change in body style after the '89 model, a true
classic.

Prevost also glues some of their panels to the frame on the newer
coaches.

It would have been nice to see the late 80's coaches in a 42' to 45'
with a series 60. It would have been a much harder choice for me
when I was choosing which coach I was going to live with for the next
XX years.

Thanks for the heads up. Learned something new today.
