Your comments, please. > Ernie Ekberg 83PT40 in Montana The Rally was nice with about 152 Plus coaches attending. There were not as many vendors this year, but the seminars were better than ever and well attended. The new Bluebird owners appear to be very supportive and appear to want to support the coach works as well as the bus and transit lines. I personally talked with the new management team and they were excited about setting up a show at the Miami Boat Show and getting the advertizing out into the Boating magazines and maybe even the Flying magazines where the real money is. They understand the quality of the way the Bluebird is made and the way the new Bluebirds are made mostly of stainless steel and they feel that the boating group could help spread the word and the boating industry is a 33 billion dollar industry. I am sure that there is some of that money left to buy a few 450's. The talk of the new coaches will be a true 45 footer with a 600 HP Cummings and a 12 speed ZF Auto Transmission and ZF running axles front and rear. These axles can handle more weight and thus handle the four slides. The new slides will have a flat floor design with no humps or bumps to step up and down on. This new company has the money and the brains to bring Bluebird back into the lead and make Bluebird truely the Best for the all the rest to follow. They have the money, leadership, brains, and appear to be willing to stick with Bluebird and bring them back to the TOP! We came to the rally doubtful and worried, but left excited and happy and thinking seriously of buying a new 2008 model when they come out.
