Fluid drive Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Please do not think that I am trying to impose my tastes upon anyone else but I wish they had left that bus an original + It is a '37 anyway! Unless I'm wrong again Plymouth didn't start their truck line until the 1937 model year. Anyhow Thanks for posting those pictures Michael! Fluid Drive Quote

Young Ed Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 You are right plymouth only built trucks 37-41 and as far as I know only built 1/2 tons. Also you'd think someone trying to get 75K could include a few more pictures and description. Quote
TodFitch Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Don't know much about school bus design, but the body seems very close to the 1940s and 50s buses that were in service in my school district in the late 1950s and early 60s. I'm wondering if that is really a mid to late 1930s school bus body... Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Well, it is cute. Personally, I think it's a later model body with the old snoot added. But, who knows.....it could be a body the same vintage as the front. Here is a late 40s or early 50s Ford bus right here in town........ Hmm, it does have the ribs down the sides....

Young Ed Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 Thats a 41-42. The postwar models are almost identical but they didn't bring back those stainless bars on the lower grill. Quote
Eneto-55 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 The bus body itself from behind the cowl on back might vary quite a bit, as in the 40's and at least into the 50's there were coach companies all over that built bodies to order on factory chassis. (There was in Tulsa, anyhow.) It is also possible, however, that they sourced the body panels from a few manufacturers, so that they would look pretty much the same in general detail. Quote
