Quoted from Todd's email:
"Bus 43 was a 60-passenger 1964 Carpenter/Ford conventional. It had the old 'curved back' with a little fixed quarter-circle window for the last seat on each side. It was in service from 1964-1975.  Bus 66 was a 72-passenger 1968 Wayne/International conventional. It was the precursor to Wayne's 'Lifeguard', and had a fixed 'trapezoid' or 'convex' window for the last seat on each side. Bus 66 was in service from 1968-1978."
