The second one in the row is mid to late 70s/early 80s, I have no idea about the closest one since ive never seen that type of window on a Ward/AmTran/IC Corp bus before 1997. its not after 97, the body name tag (left of door) was taken off 1993 when the company name changed to AmTran, so its pre 1993 and definatly under the Ward name.
firebird86 ◊ 2006-12-10 20:52	closest bus looks like a Superior,
Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2006-12-10 22:34	Hmm your right it is a Superior. I forgot about that (long defunct) company.
supcoach ◊ 2006-12-25 19:51	To clarify-the first bus is a Superior (one of the best made) and the second is a Ward/Amtran (still junk)
