MCI C-Series

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The MCI C-Series was the 102-inch wide 102-C3 that Motor Coach Industries introduced in 1988 as a reworked version of its A-body coach. It was the most luxurious MCI model up to that time, catering to the needs of tour operators, with three inches more headroom than the A and B models and double drip gutters running the length of the coach above the windows. Most were smooth sided with full paint, although fluted stainless steel lower panels remained an option, and engines from Caterpillar, Cummins and Detroit Diesel were offered with Allison, ZF and manual transmissions. Its front-end design was carried into the D-Series, which replaced the 40-foot C-Series in 1994.
