Big Dave ◊ 2008-09-14 17:07	I think the chrome band at the top of the grille would be wider on a 1940. I make it as a 1939.
CougarTim ◊ 2015-06-24 22:19	This actual bus was at a car show I visited last weekend. It was accompanied by a newspaper article written about the bus in The Washington Times in 2000 (the article is not available online without an account on their website). Some history from the article: - Bought new in 1939 by a school district in Indiana - Sold in 1949 and converted to a proto-RV by its new owner - Owned by the same family ever since except for a brief period in the 1990s - School bus seating re-installed by the filmmakers in 1986; 20 passenger capacity - At the time of filming it had a 1953 engine; currently has a 1955 engine - Built on a 1⅜ Ton Chevrolet truck chassis (eLMeR, make of that what you will) - Dimensions: 8'4" high x 7'11" wide x 22'6" long (2.54 x 2.41 x 6.86 in meters) A plaque on the dash indicates the "All-Steel Motor Coach Body" was built by Wayne.

eLMeR ◊ 2015-06-25 03:00	CougarTim wrote [...] - Built on a 1⅜ Ton Chevrolet truck chassis (eLMeR, make of that what you will)[...] Let's just use what Chevrolet made of it I assume that it has been made made on the Chassis plus flat face cowl option of the only heavy-duty model available at that time, the 1½-ton called... Heavy Duty. From what I understand, being a 1939 model gives it a V-Something Chevrolet model code, depending on its wheelbase. ⇒ 1939 Chevrolet Heavy-Duty School Bus (as we do now for the 1941-42 Art Deco models)?
