This VERY nice unit was for sale at $5500.  Very little rust on this bus, except for that rear roof cap, which was common for Thomases of that model year.  Otherwise, this bus was immaculate.  Options include an air operated entrance door, Espar fuel-fired coolant heater, and two Transpec Triple-Value roof hatches.

This brake light arrangement is somewhat popular among school districts in Southeast Michigan.  The inner most set of brake lamps are typically only brake lights and do not light up as tail lights.
