Cardinal Coach Lines 1747-1751 were 2001 model Blue Bird TC/2000 FE buses. The units were purchased brand new from Briggs Bus Sales and were delivered to the Calgary branch. While 1747-1749 spent their entire service lives in Calgary, 1750 and 1751 were transferred to the Vancouver branch shortly after delivery, and spent their entire service lives there.
Some unique specifications of these units included a longer 84 passenger body, rear air ride suspension, engine retarders, underfloor luggage bays, interior luggage racks, and an interior speaker/PA system. 1750-1751 were equipped with air brakes, meanwhile 1747-1759 were equipped with hydraulic brakes.
