7th on site, unbelievable, as in my impression should have had appeared in many movies?! Maybe it´s because of watching North by Northwest, so often. -- Last edit: 2013-01-23 02:19:36 |

Except that one of the PD-4501's is a blank: /vehicle_6721-GM-PD-4501-1954.html Maybe somebody should work on that movie. |

think so, 2axle variant PD-4104 with similar face, but GM logo instead of Greyhound http://gomotors.net/GMC/GMC-Coach-PD_4104.html now i found some more on IMCDb registrated as GMC instead GM ![]() /vehicle.php?id=306398&l=de GM would be correct due to badge (fully name was GMDD but sounds like beeing a rapper ![]() -- Last edit: 2013-01-23 16:23:49 |

Others are listed as GMC /vehicles.php?make=GMC&model=PD+4501&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on Why can't it also be a PD 4104? -- Last edit: 2013-01-23 21:49:33 |

Not sure is that footage from movie. Maybe reportage, documentary, or even filmed especially for title tv-movie, but, yes, its filmed in North America. |

thats a good objection! the only chance is to identify by its registration number Greyhound C-2855 -- Last edit: 2013-01-24 11:51:43 |

I have to agree with you on that. The PD 4501's looked a lot lower and wider in the area of the windshield and first few seats. |
