Peacemaker Double-Decker Bus Outreach Missions Summarized by AI from the post below PEACEMAKER DUBLE-DECKER BUS, designed in Art Deco style The surviving Aerocoaches are now rare collectibles found with private enthusiasts and museums, such as the AACA in Hershey, PA. Among them, two Aerocoach-based GM Motor Coaches named Peacemaker I and Peacemaker II are used by The Twelve Tribes, a religious group founded by Elbert Eugene Spriggs in 1972, for outreach missions across the country. These buses, staffed with EMTs, offer free medical care at major public events and concerts attended by “Dead Heads,” fans of bands like the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and others. Peacemaker I travelled over a half million miles during which time it required 3 replacement engines and transmissions as well as countless sets of tires. The Peacemaker buses feature a distinctive maroon and cream exterior, while their interiors evoke a wooden ship, with finishes in cherry, ash, and mahogany. They can accommodate up to 24 people with convertible bunks, two overhead lofts, a front stainless steel bathroom with a shower, and a rear kitchenette.
