Artifact Overview
Founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 1900, Mack Brothers Company relocated to Allentown, Pennsylvania, in 1905 and adopted the name Mack Trucks in 1922. Sightseeing buses were the company's first products, and school buses were a natural extension of that business. Mack built more than 22,000 school, transit, and intercity buses before ending bus production in 1960.

Ford Motor Company's Model TT truck chassis -- made from 1917 until 1927 -- could be mounted with a multitude of body styles. An unknown maker built a passenger school bus body for this 1924 TT. Other Ford trucks carried ice or coal, delivered everything from flowers to furniture, and even fought fires.
