obedb Report post Posted July 4, 2018 Back around 1988 I test drove maybe a 35 foot? Bluebird. Had a 3208 Cat for power. Ran well. Your Vogue is sharp looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted July 4, 2018 If memory serves me, it had air leveling...always reminds me of a Revcon on steroids! Byron. Blue Bird 35', 1985 with 3208... My DW at the time, told me to trade it in on a 1987 Barth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted July 5, 2018 Loved it...My DW was trying to do a "one upmanship", on her Sister! Stupid. The Bird is one of, if not, the best production coach ever built... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obedb Report post Posted July 5, 2018 The FC Bluebird that I test drove was a trade in at a new Bluebird Dealer near Havre de Grace Md. It was probably about the age of your first, Erniee. Wish that I had bough it. A very substantial coach. In my travels spanning a bunch of years, I have seen just a few Vogues. Always like their styling, but never in one.

wildebill308 Report post Posted July 6, 2018 Here is anouther old iron I saw last week. This was used by Charles Kuralt filming his TV show. https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-collections/artifact/233612/ The storey is they never slept in it, they stopped at motels/hotels.

manholt Report post Posted July 6, 2018 We had one, bought in 1976, rear engine, bunk bed, rear bath, a dream to ride in! GMC was my 2nd choice, but too short. When Vogue came out, it was high dollar for the time! Overland was another coach, ahead of it's time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted July 6, 2018 Joe, I will give it a try. I would love to get a shine on my windshield like that. (Now if I can only get Carl to apply it for me in Gillette ) Thanks for the heads up. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best part is the rain just skids off, no wipers needed, bugs also clean up easier, that will be a huge help in Texas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
