The first is when John-Boy meets Ann (who comes to the mountain to marry Curtis) The second is when Verdie leaves to go to her daughter's graduation. John-boy sees her off in front of the store. Third time it appears in the show is at night when Uncle Cody comes to vistit the Waltons. I have looked at all three shows several times and in one scene it has a round logo on the radiator which would be Dodge Bros. logo. The headlights and fenders are Dodge 1926. It has the Dodge drum headlights. The body is made of wood (the side view is warped along the bottom side of the bus) Back then in the 1920's you bought a running chassis (Ford, Dodge, etc.) and built what body you wanted on the chassis.The farmers did this for Model T and Model A. Early 1920's the bus bodies were made of wood by another company. Even today bus bodies can be made by another company (the running chassis International, Ford, etc. and the body made by Bluebird, Thomas) School buses are built this way.
