Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company's Model T, TT, A, and AA chassis were popular platforms for school buses. Initially, Ford sold chassis to outside body builders that produced the actual school buses. In 1931, Ford began offering complete factory-built school buses of its own after making a contract with Indiana-based Union City Body Company.
