Another Front Engine Blue Bird All American like what John Roeck buys in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” during the early 1990’s instead of the Thomas Rear Engine Safe-T-Liners.
John Roeck also orders these Front Engine All Americans instead of the Ward/AmTran Front Engine Transits during the mid-late 1990’s in “Early Life and Continuous Livelihood”.

As with any sporting event, I highly loathe triathlons.
I do not like NASCAR drivers Josh Wise and Jimmie Johnson, and Formula 1 driver Jenson Button participating in triathlons.
To give you an idea of how icky and yucky Triathlons are, like any other sporting event; below are videos of well-known athlete Lance Armstrong participating in triathlons:

Contrary to what this ad says, the body is not a Ward/Amtran, it is a Thomas.
Once IH/Navistar had purchased Ward/AmTran and GM having signed an exclusive agreement with Blue Bird to be the sole provider for conventional style chassis & cowls, a Ward/AmTran conventional style School Bus on the Ford B-Series chassis & cowl became very rare.
This Ford B-Series was produced when Ford stopped offering the Brazilian-built New Holland diesel engines, and only began to offer the Cummins B & C-platform engines as the only diesel engines available, alongside the 370 and 427 V8 gasoline engines.
Personally, I prefer the Brazilian-built New Holland diesel engines and the 370 and 427 V8 gasoline engines.
I don’t care for the seat cover that the school district has installed on the driver’s seat.

A Thomas conventional style School Bus from the same model year as the Blue Bird conventional on the same chassis & cowl that I had posted about in this earlier post.

The body produced by Thomas was also produced around the same time the Blue Bird body on the International 3800 chassis & cowl that’s the subject of the earlier post was produced.

A Blue Bird conventional style School Bus on the International 3800 chassis & cowl with the DT466 diesel engine.
The body was built during the time when Blue Bird’s quality, fit, and finish was just beginning to go downhill.

Though I don’t have any interest in the Freightliner chassis & cowl, this post is about a rare Blue Bird conventional style School Bus on the Freightliner FS-65 chassis & cowl.

School Bus photos from the 1940’s, 1950’s, and 1960’s.
Bodies are built by Blue Bird, Thomas, Carpenter, Wayne, Superior; and the Hackney Brothers.
Chassis are built by GM, Ford, Chrysler (Dodge), International Harvester/Navistar International; and Diamond REO.
Fuel tanker trucks owned by the Iredell County School District in North Carolina. These Medium-Duty trucks are what the GM and Ford chassis & cowls of the time were based off of. Even at this time, Ford had called their School Bus chassis & cowl a ‘B-Series’.
