The Eagle's history began with Continental Trailways, a major American bus operator seeking an alternative to the dominant GM buses to compete with Greyhound.

In the mid-1950s, Continental Trailways management approached the German company Kässbohrer (manufacturer of the Setra bus) with a request to develop a luxury bus for the American market.

The first models, the Golden Eagle and Silver Eagle, rolled off the Kässbohrer assembly line. They were equipped with German MAN diesel engines and ZF transmissions.

Due to high customs duties and logistical difficulties, production was moved from Germany to the La Brugeoise et Nivelles plant in Belgium.

Buses were produced there until the early 1970s, before production moved to the United States.

Over time, the company was spun off into a separate division—Eagle International, Inc.

Production moved to Brownsville, Texas, to be closer to its primary market.

During its existence, the brand produced approximately 8,000 buses in four countries.

By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Eagle International faced financial difficulties, increased competition, and declining demand for its ultra-expensive buses.

Eagle has gone down in history as one of the most reliable and recognizable American premium buses, distinguished by its European engineering and American styling.
