Lets Identify some School Busses.

The two out front look like Sterlings, One to the rear to the right of the main door looks like a 37 or 38 Mack.  Anyone Identify the others? This Building was built in 1931-32 and opened in the fall of 1932. Dandy Dave!

A little more history. This is the Building that I went to school in K-8th. Two Schools merged to form Taconic Hills. Roelief-Jansen Central, and Ockawamick Central Schools. When I was there it was still Roe-Jan for several years. This building then became the K-8th grade facility, And the Ockawamick building became the High School for 9th-12th Grades. This is in Columbia County New York. Dandy Dave!

Here's a Sterling, I was thinking this because the radiator top tank is above the hood line like the ones in the photo, This photo is of a heavier truck so I realize the fenders are different.

Here's a Diamond T. Top tank is level with the hood line. Very similar.

I'm pretty sure the two out front are Diamond T, circa 1933, and right behind the Diamond T on the right of the photo is a Chevrolet, circa 1937.  I'm still studying the others.

Now that would be CLASS!!!  Riding around in a DIAMOND-T School Bus!

 

That would almost be the equivalent of riding in a Prevost or an MCI today!!
