From carpool drivers to work crews, folks around the United States are about to discover the only steering wheel that works as hard as they do.

Another School Bus that’s a prelude to a modern IC conventional, a Ward/AmTran conventional on the International S-Series chassis & cowl with the Allison MT-643 transmission.
It is unknown as to which engine this chassis & cowl has, as the School District that is auctioning this bus off did not make note of the engine in this listing for the auction.

Newscasts and Newsbreaks of CBS affiliate WWL-TV in New Orleans, with them using the theme that Stephen Arnold had created for them starting in 1989, with ABC News anchor Robin Roberts’s older Sally; and when people such as NBC News anchor Hoda Kotb and a sportscaster for the ghastly FOX television network-Chris Meyers had worked there.
The WWL stations, having been founded by and long owned by Loyola University until 1989; the AM station had begun as a laboratory experiment of the university in 1922 and had became a CBS Radio affiliate in 1935, and the television station became a CBS Television affiliate upon it’s sign on in September, 1957 as a result of it’s Radio parent’s longtime CBS Radio affiliation.
A 1978 Carpenter conventional on the Ford B-Series chassis & cowl that has been sitting on a lot in Virginia for many years.
This bus likely has the 331 or 391 V8 engines, the last year that Ford had produced the FT engines (a heavier-duty version of the FE V8 engines intended for use in Medium-Duty trucks) before Ford had discontinued the FT engines and began utilizing the 370 and 429 V8 gasoline engines from the 385 architecture in their Medium-Duty trucks starting in 1979.
I would not mind having this bus, provided I was ever able to get it up and running.

A traditional Ford F-350 (one that I refer to that has never what I call “the extension treatment”) that had been modified by Centurion Industries into a traditional conversion pickup truck.
I do not like how the owner of this GMT400 Tahoe has ruined it with all of the modifications that he had done to it, but I do like how it has the Red interior that I prefer.
The other color of interior that I prefer in a GMT400 GM truck or in the preceding 1973-1991 bodystyle of GM truck is blue.
Red is the interior color we were considering in the diesel Suburban that we had thought about buying in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” before we decided to buy a Centurion Bronco instead.
We do, however; get the Centurion Bronco with a red interior.

I do not like the idea of a Reality Television star of a television show on the cable channel MTV, turned Prosecutor, turned United States Representative; by the name of Sean Duffy, a Republican from Wisconsin.
Who would really want a former Reality Television star to serve as a Prosecutor, and hold a seat in the United States House Of Representatives?
Maybe Sean Duffy should come to understand how much of a better place our nation would be if neither cable & satellite television nor the FOX television network were ever conceived, and if just only the 3 networks (CBS, ABC, and NBC) in addition to PBS continued to exist.
Sean Duffy is a supporter of the evil Donald Trump for President of the United States. Sean Duffy must be out of his mind for supporting the evil Donald Trump for President.
Sean Duffy also has a ridiculous Undercut haircut. Sean Duffy should instead be forced wear his hair like the boy pictured below.
WSPD-TV/WTVG-TV was Storer Broadcasting’s flagship television station in their hometown of Toledo, Ohio.
Unlike Storer’s stations in Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, and in Milwaukee being CBS affiliates; Storer’s flagship television station in Toledo, Ohio was an NBC affiliate because Storer had taken the NBC Television affiliation upon the television station’s sign on in 1948, WSPD-AM had long been an NBC Radio affiliate; and this was before Geo Storer had sat on the board of CBS. WTOL-TV (an offshoot of WTOL-AM, the AM station was owned by the family of Frazier Reams until 1996) has long served as the CBS affiliate of Toledo, Ohio.
From it’s inception in 1927 up until the late 1960’s, Storer Broadcasting was headquartered in Toledo, Ohio. Then in the late 1960’s, Storer had moved their headquarters to Miami, Florida.
WSPD-TV/WTVG-TV’s radio parent, WSPD-AM; was Storer’s very first radio station when Geo Storer and his brother-in-law J. Harold Ryan had implemented a cost-cutting way to sell and distribute gasoline with their Speedene Gasoline franchises by building their fuel stations adjacent to the railroad tracks. Geo Storer began to buy time to run commercials on WTAL-AM, had then decided to purchase WTAL-AM outright and change the call letters to WSPD-AM (for SPeeDene Gasoline) upon his purchase of the radio station. It was at this moment when Storer Broadcasting was born, and Geo Storer had eventually decided to exit the oil distribution business and concentrate solely on the broadcast business.
Storer Broadcasting had put WSPD-FM on the air in 1946, strictly simulcasting WSPD-AM (until the FCC began to rule that all FM stations must air separate programming and forge a separate identity from their AM parents beginning in the late 1960’s) until it had taken a Middle-Of-The-Road format programmed by Drake-Chenault utilizing their “Hit Parade” package. Then, as Storer began to sell off all of their radio stations in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to concentrate strictly on their terrestrial television stations and to also cultivate their entry into the up and coming medium of cable television, and as Storer’s radio stations couldn’t afford to do anything except pay their electrical bills because they were not A-List properties in their markets; WSPD-FM was sold to Susquehanna Broadcasting in 1971.
Storer, however; did hold onto WSPD-AM until 1981, as Storer had felt that as the AM station is the genesis of the birth of their company, and as this AM station is located in their hometown; they could manage to keep this AM station longer than they held onto their other AM and FM stations.
Upon Susquehanna’s purchase of WSPD-FM, the FM station became WLQR with a Beautiful Music format. Susquehanna had sold the FM station to Wood Broadcasting in 1987, and under the ownership of Wood Broadcasting; the FM station became WRVF-FM with the Adult Contemporary format that it has to this day.
Below are videos of WSPD-TV/WTVG-TV’s newscasts from the 1970’s and early 1980’s, featuring the station featuring Storer’s corporate mandate of branding their television stations as TV-number (in the case of WSPD-TV/WTVG-TV: TV-13); the same multi-dimensional animated ID cards that Storer was using for all of their television stations by this time, WTVG-TV using the same Gari Communications “Home Of The Winners” package and slogan as sister station WJW-TV/WJKW-TV in Cleveland; and the “Production of Storer Communications” title card at the end of WSPD-TV/WTVG-TV’s newscasts.
Jim Moran, a pioneering dealership owner for Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A; is a person who the character of Ed Crosswire in the Arthur movie for adults is based on.
http://www.autonews.com/article/20070430/SUB/70427094/morans-88-years-came-fully-loaded
Jim Moran had founded his own distribution company personally importing Toyotas for North American consumption, and had taken the sales of certain Toyota models in the North American market into his own hands before Toyota had founded their own distribution arm for models that they build in Japan and ship to North America; and before Toyota had built several manufacturing plants across the United States and Canada to build certain models domestically for the North American market.
Jim Moran had owned and operated multiple Toyota dealerships across 4 states, and Jim Moran was a pioneer in implementing computers for salesman, service advisors; and technicians at automobile dealerships to effectively do business.
Ed Crosswire, a dealer for Nissan, Toyota; and Subaru under one roof at the same location; has multiple acres worth of inventory of U.S spec Nissans, Toyotas, and Subarus.
When Nissan and Toyota refuse to sell certain models in the North American market such as the Skyline, Leopard, Soarer, Chaser, Cresta, T150, T160, and T170 Coronas; U11 Bluebird (other than the Bluebird Maxima that was already on sale in North America), HiAce, Urvan, Crown, Cedric/Gloria; and diesel engine versions of the Nissan & Toyota mini-pickups, and diesel engine versions Terrano/Pathfinder and the HiLux Surf/4Runner; Ed Crosswire steps in and personally imports these vehicles in Japan, and then has a shop located at the rear of his property of his dealership install parts that Ed has personally contracted automotive suppliers to make to fit onto these Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) spec vehicles to personally federalize them and then takes the sale of these JDM-spec vehicles into his own hands by selling them on the gray market. And the federalized JDM-spec vehicles sit on another area of the property that Ed’s dealership is on, behind all of the U.S spec vehicles that he has in his inventory.
The daughter of the murdered man who was murdered by his second wife in the episode of the television program Columbo from 1971: Ransom For A Dead Man, looks a lot like Carletta and acts a lot like how Carletta had acted as of this time.
Carletta, having been rambunctious for her entire life; and her being as much as an oddball as her mother Bernice, is one of many simple ways as to why in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood”; we do not associate with her or her mother Bernice.

A foreshadow to the IC conventionals of today and the more recent past- a 1985 Ward conventional on the International S-Series chassis & cowl with the DT466 diesel engine and the Allison MT-643 transmission.
Navistar had bought out Ward/AmTran in 1991 to become their in-house School Bus body manufacturer, and Ward/AmTran became IC Corp in 2002.
From that point on, all Ward/AmTran products began to be built exclusively on International chassis; with the exception of the conventional model also being available on the Ford B-Series chassis & cowl until Ford had exited this business sector and discontinued the B-Series chassis & cowl in 1998, and the Vanguard being available on the Econoline or GM Full-Size van cutaway chassis.
