1979 Thomas Ford Conventional

 

Year: 1979 Model: Thomas Conventional with a Ford B-700 chassis, a 370-2V gasoline engine, and an Allison AT-540 transmission. Owner/Operator: Berry College of Rome, Georgia Location: Rome, Georgia Notice the air pressure gauge on this bus; it is the largest gauge on the left side of the dashboard.  The gauge's single needle, as well as the flip-style parking brake valve, indicates that this chassis does not have a split-type air brake system like modern buses.
