Quoted from Todd's email:
"Buses 35-52 (no #42 though) were purchased in late 1977 by the Mehlville School District in St. Louis, Missouri. By late 1977, the District's fleet had really
aged. Due to budget constraints, no new buses had been purchased in three years.
So, that's why Mehlville accepted Wayne's bid to build and deliver 17 buses at
one time. Most of these 17 buses were in service from late 1977 until 1987, and
a few lingered through 1989."
