Not that I am aware of, but I couldn't say with absolute certainty.

It's not a Mack but you are quite close with the year.
I'm not sure if this bus ever operated commercially or if it remained experimental.

At midday Friday 17th European time I'm lifting the 12 points per puzzler maximum but only to 16 points since there are only 10 points still left to garner (or maybe a few more for extra info).  I don't want just one puzzler pinching the lot immediately...

It's past 1:00 PM in Germany, so past midday in the UK. My try for points 14, 15 and 16:
#8: Yellow Coach trolleybus
#27: Yellow Coach Type Z Intra-City Coach, operated by Chicago Motor Coach Company
#34: tour bus, built by Van Hool in 1952 on a Dodge chassis

Interesting!
But the 'Site where I got the picture was quite specific about what it was built for and it wasn't a tour bus.
The 'Site may of course be wrong: it wouldn't be the first time!

#27: Where this bus operated - 1 point

That's right.
That's worth 2 points!
