Re: Crown / Stageway Crew Cabs
I have a Stageway, my dad does actually but I've researched them a ton.
The research I have done is, there is no actual way to know how many were truely built because these were titled as "work truck" just like a fleet or a HD truck may have been. A good estimate would be less that 100 per year. Most were sold to construction companies, survey crews, forestry service, rail road, etc type companies that needed to move several people at once and carry gear. These trucks were special ordered from a dealer, the truck and parts were sent to the coach company and they did their thing. From what I can tell, there were 3 Coach companies, two in the middle of the country and one on the west coast.
Since these are rare, mainly because they were treated as trucks and then discarded when used up, the price is relevant to what you have. I know of a 61/62 GMC crew cab that I have been trying to buy for 10 years, but he won't sell, even at about $5k. This truck is non running and in poor but rebuildable shape...and he won't sell, says he will rebuild it. Yea right!
I have seen a crew cab short bed rod-stored and done very nice, it sold for about $60k about 6 years ago after being on EvilBay for a long while for a much larger asking price. A shop rebuilt it also.
My dad's crew cab won't be for sale, ever, period. I say this because he and I built it ( with his $), so there is sentimental value there.
Let me know if I can help you with anything.
Good luck!
