Bick,

Are the model numbers (body styles) the same as for the USA OR did Canada have there own body style numbers (codes)?

Pluck

 

[Steve Plucker]

Is the bus that the Hangtown A's did a few years back still around somewhere?

What did they call it?....Huff and Puff?

The parts books here used the same body numbers as the U.S. eg 40A & B etc. as most of the commercial bodies were built to order they were just called by their names eg Deluxe Express Delivery.

It is to be in the MAFFI museum.

While we're on the bus topic, here are a few images.

I'll respond to the Pepsi truck with a Coca Cola truck at a later date

First, the ideal school bus:

In the real world, not every school bus was as pretty as the ad. Wonder what it was like to ride waaaay back of the rear axle?

Okay, okay... I know it's a GAZ, but it's sure a nice looking bus (especially the faired cowl):

The Ohio club made a silent film that was shown at the Indy National meet a few years ago, and there was a scene with a school bus that had a bench seat down each side and one down the middle. What a difference from now. Kids would have loved to ride on padded seats back then. I think the bus is owned by Roger Kauffman

I found these pic's of a 1930 Ford Bus.

Of all the folks on Fordbarn, I figured you'd be the first to reply.

 

[John Butts in CT]

No offense, MrTube, but I'd rather have an "A" full of cute Russian girls (Post 63) than an "A" full of refrigerators

Now thats not fair.

 

[LukeDahlinger]

John where can I get a load of Russian Girls? Between the black hair and the accents... man oh man!

Here's a few trucks .....

 

[John Butts in CT]

Oh, Luke: I have to take a "pause that refreshes" before I add to your Coca Cola images.

Тем временем, охладите ваши реактивные самолеты.

JWB

 

[John Butts in CT]

Until I can dredge up some more Coca Cola images, how about a nice piece of pie? Indeed, how about 700,000 pieces of pie???

Model A woodie and bus

 

[John Butts in CT]

GREAT BUS!

Here's the only "Working" woodie image I have:

I'd love to see more images of station wagons in real life. Anyone?

 

[WTSHNN]

WOW!

This is the first time I've ever seen such a great picture of a police patrol in service.

Any information on the picture?

right click...save image as....

Thanks!
