01
Artifact Overview
Not surprisingly, safety is a long-running theme in school bus advertising. Navistar's International brand promoted the safety of its 3000-series buses in this 1990 ad. The buses were described as reliable, maneuverable, up-to-date, and efficient -- qualities, the ad suggested, that would appeal to any mother.

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.
