The MCI Model 150 was a transit-type coach that Fort Garry Motor Body and Paint Works, soon renamed Motor Coach Industries, designed and manufactured in 1939. It placed the windshield over the radiator, made the first use of exterior stainless steel panels in the company's history and carried a pancake engine mounted midship under the floor. It was based on the Yellow Coach PDG Silversides, and it came two years after the firm built its first proprietary chassis and its first line of coaches for Grey Goose Bus Lines in Winnipeg.
