Notes

The specification fields describe the standard 31-, 33- and 35-foot coaches; the XV is recorded separately. Vintage Birds’ standard specifications for 1979 also list: Blue Bird All American chassis, leaf-spring suspension, full air brakes, a 45-gallon LP tank, and a Kohler generator of 12.5 kW (diesel) on the 35-foot or 7.5 kW (gasoline) on the 31- and 33-foot. The page’s “waste water” figure is recorded here as black water. The same block appears on the club’s 1977, 1978 and 1979 pages, so it may be generic rather than year-exact. It also says “Side Bath or Rear Bath”, while the club’s own model list dates Rear Bath models to 1983. The specifications are an owner-club summary from the Vintage Birds page for this year, not a factory scan. Lengths are the nominal model lengths used by Vintage Birds, not measured figures.
