One of two made into a limousine conversion in the late $80's. Air Ride rear suspension with a new compressor and tank. Runs and drives great!!
There were three of these busses converted to Limos at a shop in Pennsylvania in the mid 90’s One was recently sold in Minden, NV and is one serial number later than this unit, The other was last known to be in a collection located in Buffalo NY. When the conversion was done in the mid to late 80’s a Chevy P30 motor home running gear was grafted to the original frame.
The owner acquired the vehicle in October of 2016. Since that time the vehicle has been completely gone through Mechanically including a complete wiring overhaul. They have put very few miles on it since. it as it was strictly used for Parades and to be on display at a distillery they owned.
This Limo would be spectacular for wedding events as the entire top rolls back.
The Model 706 grille surround and cowl were designed by industrial designer Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, while the open-top touring body was designed by Herman Bender and F.W. Black. The Bender Body Company supplied the Model 706 bodies, and this example was refinished in beige with gray fenders under prior ownership. The gray soft top is supported by metal bows and secured with tie-downs around the perimeter, and additional features include a chrome grille and bumpers, fender-mounted headlights, running boards, rear fender skirts, a driver’s door, and four passenger-side doors. The ambulance-style rear doors open to reveal a storage compartment with a leaded-glass windowpane.
the chassis has been modified with a revised dually rear end assembly as well as front suspension and steering components sourced from a General Motors P30 truck chassis. Stopping power is from hydraulic front disc and rear drum brakes.
This modified White Model 706 was purchased by the current owner in 2016 and is now offered on dealer consignment in California with a clean Nevada title.
