That ride in the Wayne bus was great!! Nice trip down memory lane. I rode Wayne Internationals as a kid and actually rode an 88 Ford Wayne on several occasions (in high school, 20 years ago) as a spare.

I remember the bus that took me to grade school every day: 1972 Bluebird with a Dodge chassis and Dayton axles with a 5 speed. Our district converted them to LP at some point...I remember the standpipe for the propane tank being added to the side of the bus!

Growing up we had a 1959 Ford D bus with a 292 in it. We converted it into a camper and used to take it on trips every year. I think the last year it was on the road though was in 1989. When my Pappy passed on my Sister gave it to a guy whose house had burned down as a place to stay while he built a new house. Those Wisconsin hills look just like Southern Indiana hills, lol. Lots of Amish around here too, but most of the ones around here have the open buggies.

Even as a kid,i loved the look,the sound and smoke of each models! Now they’re all generic,automatic,economic buses (and ugly!) I understand the safety part but still...Very nice video btw!

Awesome group of vehicles at the show grounds at the beginning of the video. How about that short bus at 7:11 ? In the 70s my church (in northern NJ) had a `65 Superior International Loadstar with a V8 and 5 speed. No Diesels, automatics or air brakes in those days. When I first got my license I remember going up to the church with my dad's key and driving the bus around in the parking lots, practicing using a clutch.

the Gm busses and Fishbowl busses Bus Grease Monkey works on some of them as he specializes in the old two stroke Detroit diesels they have. too bad the fishbowl used in school service don't have a modern crossing control arm in addition to the 8 way and stop arm. as modern school busses are built in a way to protect school kids a sturdy safety cage as the roof should support the weight of the bus. as busses by Carpenter made from the 80s-1995 were plauged by this problem with defective roof bows. Had you tried to find an old Superior bus they were made to the mid 1980s in Lima Ohio. as then superior was part of the Sheller Globe corporation. as SG also owned The Leece-Neville Co that made the small 3 inch heater and electric motors as well as starters and alternators. as SG went till 1989 till sold to United Technologies formally United Aircraft corporation in its days.

I would be very interested in purchasing a specific school bus of which I have extremely fond memories from my childhood. I can't seem to find where to purchase a 1964, '65, or '66 GMC Superior Coach school bus. Any information which you could give me to point me in the right direction would be tremendously appreciated. Thank you so much -- Joe.

Monday, I purchased the 1985 Chevy Ward bus I rode in high school in 1991/1992. It was transferred by the state to the local prison farm until 2018 and driven 8000 miles from 1997 to 2018. I’m having a terrible time getting insurance on it as it’s a commercial vehicle. Anyone who has suggestions on this, I’d greatly appreciate advice.
