Another bus that’s a prelude to a modern IC conventional-a Ward/AmTran conventional on the International S-Series chassis & cowl.

This bus was the very last of it’s kind to be produced, as Navistar had just purchased Ward/AmTran this year, GM was changing over to the GMT530-basec chassis & cowl; and had inked a deal with Blue Bird to be the one and only user of the GMT530 chassis & cowl and would forfeit the chance of the GMT530 chassis & cowl being used by competitors such as Thomas, Carpenter; and Wayne.

A result of the brilliant Research and Development department of General Motors.
It is very nice to see that the project manager of the Electrovan (a Chevrolet SportVan/GMC Handi-Van converted to run on Fuel Cells) is still alive at the age of 91, by the name of Floyd Wyczalek.
The year 1966 brought the TV debuts of “Batman” and “Star Trek,” which both enjoy a cultlike following 50 years later. With less fanfare in the same season, General Motors tested the Electrovan, the world’s first hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle.

A Blue Bird conventional on one of my favorite chassis & cowls-the Ford B-Series.
I am not sure as to which engine this chassis & cowl has, but I do know that the transmission is the Allison AT-545.

I had once written a post about the PBS television program MotorWeek, and I have stated that personalities Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas are not my cup of tea.
PBS Television Program MotorWeek
I still feel that it is such a shame that John Davis would hire scoundrel young men like Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas to serve as staff members and on-camera personalities of MotorWeek.
These 3 young men are not adherent to this being one of many television programs that helped save Maryland Public Television and the PBS television network as a whole, the other being Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser (of which John Davis had served as a producer for several years upon his hiring by Maryland Public Television), and is the result of Maryland Public Television brass wanting to see what John Davis could produce on his own rather than being forevermore dependent on Wall Street Week.
See this earlier post regarding John Davis’s employment at Maryland Public Television:
MotorWeek Host John Davis’s Employment With Maryland Public Television
Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas should also be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.
I also do not like Greg Carloss constantly changing his hairstyle, including him, at one time; having wore a ridiculous Undercut haircut. And I don’t like Patrick Lucas wearing a ridiculous Undercut haircut.
Personally, I prefer people from John Davis and Pat Goss’s generation over people from Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas’s generation.
Greg Carloss having to purchase and graze on a snack food with a fake Spanish trade name of ‘Cheetos’, a snack food derived from a tortilla chip that is not my cup of tea.
Early, 16th century, according to Greg Carloss; I don’t think so. Try the late 19th century or the early 20th century.

The person in this picture should have his tattoos removed:

Zach Maskell should get a life and move past the youngster, hip-hop lingo like “homie” and such.

Zach Maskell should also think and talk more maturely rather than saying that a BMW “poophs Porsches”.

Zach Maskell doing something imbecilic with a technology that includes a camera integrated in the front of the vehicle on a Mercedes-Benz W222. This is sarcastically wonderful with him acting sophomoric next to a GMT360 Chevrolet TrailBlazer owned and operated by Maryland Public Television as part of their fleet. Not including the fact that the GMT360 SUVs were never my cup of tea.

How could Zach Maskell possibly be so stupid? Zach Maskell, in this instance; should be lucky that he did not injure himself, or worse; kill himself.

Zach Maskell should come to realize just how much more important and more interesting the amateur/ham radio world is than the sports and fitness world, and that all sports are icky and yucky.

Zach Maskell, along with Greg Carloss and Patrick Lucas should also be banned from dressing to the nines.

Further evidence that Patrick Lucas, along with Greg Carloss and Zach Maskell should be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight.
Greg Carloss, Patrick Lucas, and Zach Maskell should also get a life when it comes to video games; and should realize just how much more productive and more interesting the amateur/ham radio world is.
Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz; and Easy Listening music such as Stephen Bishop’s song from 1981 “It’s Only Love”, Earl Klugh’s song from 1985 “The Only One For Me”; and Eric Carmen’s song from 1975 “All By Myself”.
Greg Carloss, Zach Maskell; and Patrick Lucas also have a lot in common with Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld, who, along with fellow Formula 1 driver Jenson Button, Indy Car driver James Hinchcliffe; and several NASCAR drivers, are not my cup of tea.

The 1991 murder of this young man in Lubbock, Texas; whose name is Scott Dunn; is the subject of an episode of the television program Forensic Files.
This young man, Scott Dunn; had served in the U.S Army for some time prior to his discharge and his return to the civilian world; and once Scott Dunn had reentered the civilian world, he had worked at an automotive electronics store installing aftermarket car radios prior to his murder.
If this one time young stud, Scott Dunn were still alive today; he would be turning 50 years old as of 2017.
A bag of human remains dug up last week have many talking about a cold case involving a murder where the body was never found.

Like the Front-Engine TC/2000 that is the subject of this earlier blog post:

The wheels on this Front-Engine Safe-T-Liner are also located in near proximity of each other nearly in the center of the body, with a body length that is much longer than the actual wheelbase of this bus.

As I have said before in other posts, I am not fond of the smaller Type A cutaway School Buses and Type B School Buses on the GM/Workhorse P-Chassis. I am only fond of the larger Type C conventional School Buses and the Type D Transit-style School Buses.

One of the last School Bus bodies that Carpenter had built before they had closed their doors in 2000.
This particular bus was used strictly for training newly-hired drivers and never had it ever been used to transport students.
