Classic

The Classic is a bus developed by GM from its previous-generation New Look design. The "Classic" was nearly identical to the New Look from the belt rail up, but sported a new front which allowed for a wider front door. The design was originally intended solely for the Canadian market as an alternative to the unpopular RTS but ultimately the Classic, produced from 1982 to 1997, met with widespread success in both Canada and the United States. It was available primarily as a 40-foot long, 102-inch wide coach, although 16 60-foot long articulated Classics were manufactured. The design was fairly conservative, yet contemporary and less controversial than the RTS.
