Gold Coast Tours Takes Delivery of Two Prevost H3-41 Motorcoaches

Sainte-Claire, Quebec, December 10th, 2004 – John Hartley, President of Gold Coast Tours, had been thinking about adding Prevost motorcoaches to his 44-vehicle fleet for several years. He liked the styling, the ergonomic features and comfortable ride, but when he finally decided to buy Prevosts, it was the vehicle’s size that was the deciding factor.

“We run a lot of tours out to Yosemite National Park, but their roads are tight and they won’t allow 45-foot buses,” Hartley said. “Prevost was the only company with a 41-foot model that met all of our purchase criteria.”

Gold Coast Tours’ initial order for Prevost coaches came in 2002, with follow up orders each year since, including two brand new Prevost H3-41s, that were shipped last month.

“We have a very demanding clientele, so we did a lot of research before trying a new manufacturer,” Hartley said. “Prevost buses have a range of high end, luxury features including the panoramic windows, comfortable seating and high quality sound system that are ideally suited to satisfy them.”
