Re: Wanderlodge question
I've heard the brand was sold to 'Complete Coach Works'. From their web site (completecoach.com):
“Having worked on buses and having been involved with the transportation industry since I was eleven years old, I couldn’t be more excited about adding the BLUE BIRD Coachworks and BLUE BIRD Wanderlodge products and their family of proud employees to our family†stated Dale Carson, President and CEO of Complete Coach Works,
“We look forward to our long term association with the Fort Valley community and continuing to be a vital part of their economic foundation,†continued Mr. Carson, “not only will the Fort Valley manufacturing facility continue to manufacture the outstanding Wanderlodge and Coachworks product lines, but it will provide an opportunity for the expansion of our Complete Coach Works operations to the Southeast.â€
There is also a link from the website which announces the '08 BlueBird Wanderlodge' as becoming available 01/01/08, which implys the name 'BlueBird' will be retained, but I find that a little hard to believe, since BlueBird remains in the school bus business...
On the other hand, the 'IBM ThinkPad' product was sold to Lenovo, who now makes and sells it, so maybe its not so far fetched.
