1971 Carpenter International Conventional


 
Year: 1971

Model: Carpenter Conventional on an International Loadstar 1700 chassis

ID: 95

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

Location: St. Louis, Missouri

Quoted from Todd's email:
Bus 11 (photo only shows the grill and bumper) is a 1972 Carpenter/International, part of a purchase Mehlville made along with Buses 12 and 14-17 (no #13).
Bus 95 (center of photo) is a 1971 Carpenter/International, part of a purchase Mehlville made along with Buses 92-94 and 96-100.
Look carefully at the bulkhead and you'll see "SCHOOL BUS" printed in a more "block" style lettering. Carpenter delivered Buses 92-100 with this "block" font. None of the other Carpenter buses in the Mehlville fleet ever had this "block" font of the words "SCHOOL BUS."

On the other side of Bus 95 are some 1969 and/or 1970 Carpenter buses with Chevy chassis.
