Our mission is to educate, promote interest in, and advocate for preservation in the transportation and motorcoach industry.
To achieve our mission, we at Phoenix Coach Global encourage the preservation and restoration of historic documents as well as coaches. Encourage responsible design for new construction of all Phoenix Coaches products and make available relevant materials to support and promote historic preservation. We also support individuals and organizations that are actively engaged in historic preservation, especially for educational purposes. These activities include historic restoration, the maintenance of archives with the development of a growing collection of historical items, the protection of historic coaches, and an awards program honoring the owners who have demonstrated their attention to preserving the historic fabric of those coaches. Our team members also participate in varied motorcoach activities and events each year.
Below you’ll find a selection of other teams who are working hard to preserve the heritage of every aspect of the transportation industry. We encourage you to browse their websites, visit, and support each organization to continue this legacy for generations to come.

Founded In 1966, The Baltimore Streetcar Museum (BSM) Is An All-volunteer Organization Committed To Sharing The Story Of Baltimore’s Public Transit Past, Especially That Of The City’s Street Railways.
The Baltimore Streetcar Museum was fashioned out of a section of the old Maryland-Pennsylvania Railroad, which the city inherited after the railroad was abandoned during the 1950s. The current buildings there are holdovers from that era. The museum opened at its current site in 1968. Today, it houses about 10 historic streetcars and a transit research library, and offers rides on the vehicles on weekends throughout the year.
Busboys Collection is the classic bus preservation endeavor of the Holter family, headed by brothers Dan and Stan, a.k.a. the Bus Boys. (the American Bus Pickers). With a history of owning and running multiple bus operations since 1959 as solely a family operation, our experience in the transportation industry has given us an appreciation for preserving our industry’s heritage.
The Busboys Collection endeavors provide the public with hands-on experience to enjoy the history of transportation with various buses of all makes and models, along with many antique artifacts, memorabilia, and a library of paper material. Busboys is committed to keeping our industry’s heritage alive by sharing our collections with the public for generations to come.

The museum opened in September 1989 in the Hibbing Municipal Building under the name Greyhound Bus Origin Center. It was the dedicated work of one man, Gene Nicolelli, a local resident, who found a plaque in the abandoned local Greyhound Terminal honoring the town as the birthplace of the bus industry. The museum has since acquired a number of buses associated with the Greyhound Line operation. The exhibits also tell the story of the company, its contribution to the World War II efforts and display memorabilia from its history.
