1974 Eleganza SE

[bdub]

I can find nothing about this in the GMCnet archives and have searched them
thoroughly. Have also searched GMCMI newsletters and some of GMC Motorhome
Marketplace Magazine. There's not even a mention of an Eleganza SE in any
of the Cinnabar newsletters.

Dave Greenburg is in New Mexico at the present and will be at the Western
States Rally next month. I'll try to remember to ask him. I'm sure he's
got it written down somewhere.

Does anyone know how many 1974 Eleganza SE (special edition) 26' coaches were
made and what was the special equipment on them?

Dave Greenburg is in Albuq and will be attending the balloon fiesta roundup. If
you want, send me specific questions and I will get them to him, probably in a
week or so.

If she don't blow up, our '74 Eleganza SE (Special edition) will be at
Forest City with the other '74s. The old bus just might win a prize.

Thanks for the offer.
1. How many were made?
2. How many are registered?
3. Was there anything 'special' about them?
4. What different equipment did they have?
5. Any other info would be helpful.

Thanks,
Gene Hyche genehy
