Artifact Overview

This bus was built on Ford's Model AA truck platform -- essentially a Model A car with a stronger frame, suspension and wheels. Despite its weight of 5,600 pounds, the bus was powered by Ford's standard four-cylinder Model A automobile engine. The result wasn't particularly fast, but speed wasn't necessary for a vehicle working in stop-and-go city traffic.
