MCI Courier 85

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The MCI Courier 85 was a coach in the Courier series of Motor Coach Industries, made in the early 1950s with the variants Courier 85A and Courier 85X. The company's own history says slight changes to the earlier Courier models created the Courier 50, 50A, 85, 85A and 85X, and that in the 1950s the coach division went on to add the 90, 95 and 96 before launching the MC series. It dates from the same years in which the company was also diversifying into other metal products beyond coaches.
