Artifact Overview
Superior Coach Company's origins were in the Garford Motor Truck Company founded in Elyria, Ohio, in 1909. The firm adopted the "Superior" name when it relocated to Lima, Ohio, in 1925. Superior specialized in hearses and school buses. The company scaled back its bus production in 1980 after baby boomers aged out of school and hurt the business.

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.
