Royal Coach Co. Oldsmar, Florida (between Clearwater & Tampa)
The original Jolly Trolleys purchased in 1979 cost Mr. Greenwald and other
investors $74,000 each.
Twelve-passenger vans were modified to look like trolleys. They carried 14
passengers with entry from a rear platform. The bus-turned-trolley even
included room for luggage under the passenger seats on the curb side.
While a trolley car, by definition, is an electric vehicle that gets its
power from an overhead wire, the minitrolleys were originally created by the
Royal Coach Co., in the Tri-County Business Park on Racetrack Road, Oldsmar.
