1972 Carpenter International Conventional


 
Year: 1972

Model: Carpenter Conventional on an International Loadstar 1700 chassis

ID: 15

Owner/Operator: Mehlville School District R-9, St. Louis, Missouri

Location: St. Louis, Missouri

Quoted from Todd's email:
Purchased by Mehlville in 1972 along with Buses 11 and 12 and 14, and 16 and 17. These buses were delivered in 1972 with only a four-way flasher system. To comply with revised Missouri state laws in the late '70s, these six buses were each outfitted with an eight-way flasher system. Also, the number "15" on the side of the bus was originally located just above the gas intake next to the door. For some reason it was painted over in the late '70s and repainted just under the passenger window by the door.
