1960s VanWilson GMC

 
 

Year: 1960s Model: VanWilson body with a GMC chassis Location: Saskatchewan Note: VanWilson buses are rarely seen and were produced for a very short while.  Using buses produced by Superior Coach of Lima, Ohio and Kosciusko, Mississippi, the VanWilson company began its school bus division by re-branding and selling buses to Canadian customers.  By at least 1966, VanWilson was producing its own buses.  The VanWilson company had a broad range of interests, selling at different times milk and bread trucks, hydraulic lifts, dump truck bodies, and funeral coaches. Much of this information was retrieved from an essay written c.1959.  Photo By: A. Wong
