2000s: Silver Eagle Bus Manufacturing (USA)
In the mid-2000s, Silver Eagle Bus Manufacturing Inc (SEBM) was established in
Brownsville, Texas, to revive the Eagle coach. Using tooling and parts stocks
from Mexico, SEBM offered the older Models 15 and 20 in 37-, 40- and 45-foot
versions.
There was also a new design, the 102-inch-wide Model 25 available in 40- and
45-foot versions. The Model 25 abandoned most Eagle styling traditions in favor
of a boxy look intended to maximize interior volume for motorhome conversions.
Only one Model 25, a 45-foot version, was ever made and sold. The Model 25 was
never tested and certified as a passenger coach in accordance with the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect at the time.
SEBM also produced one 37-foot Model 20, but it has never been learned if it was
actually completed and sold. The company was undercapitalized from the start and
went out of business after relocating to Gallatin, Tennessee, as it was unable
to pay off its many creditors.
