| Welcome to GilligCoaches.NET, the home of the Gillig Transit Coach / Pacific SchoolCoach Online Museum. This website is the #1 source for all information relating to Gillig-built school and transit buses, and Kenworth-built school and transit buses built under the "Pacific" name. The mission statement of GilligCoaches.NET, serving as the flagship website of the Gillig Coach Historical Society, is to preserve the history of the Gillig Transit Coach line of school buses, which were built from the late 1930s up to 1982. Additionally, our goal is to preserve the history of the "Pacific School Coach", which was built by Kenworth and Pacific Car and Foundry, and was produced from the early 1900s up to 1957. GilligCoaches.NET is authored by me, Steven Rosenow. I own a 1955 Kenworth Model T-216 Pacific School Coach and I'm currently in the process of restoring it In addition to the Kenworth-Pacific, I am also currently in the process of buying a 1966 Gillig in Montesano, Washington. I can be easily reached through several contact methods. If you wish to e-mail me, send an e-mail at webmaster@gilligcoaches.net. Please note that I am often consumed with work and other projects, so I cannot guarantee an immediate response to e-mails. If you wish to reach me by another method, please see the "Webmaster Bio" page of the website. |

| GilligCoaches.NET is reopened! Over sixty new photos in more than five separate galleries are posted! Among the new content are the long-awaited photoshoots of Olympia School District bus #41, the long-awaited photoshoot of Bainbridge Island Public School District's Gillig fleet, and the addition of several new Kenworth-Pacific photos! Also, a brand new look to the website is unveiled, and some changes have been made to the navigation of the website! For more details on what's new, click the "Latest News" tab to the left! The Gillig Corporation has officially pulled the plug on the Gillig Phantom after 28 years of production. The last Phantom is reported to have rolled off the line September 1. I am now a Gillig owner again! You read it right, after seven years, I have finally been able to locate, and secure, a Gillig of my own again! Read about the new acquisition here! |

| This Gillig, once a featured Gillig seven years ago (original photograph of it seven years ago photographed by Mark Obtinario), is back on the front page of GilligCoaches.NET after being rediscovered recently on a trip to the Olympia School District bus garage. More information can be read about it (as well as more photos now!) by clicking on the 318D-Series link in the Photo Galleries. This is one Gillig that is definitely worth a look! |
