Gamer ◊ 2024-10-13 19:29	From what I understand the first buses Tokyo purchased were Republics, Clydesdales, Internationals and yes, Wolseleys, plus 44 11-seater Fords in 1924 (but this is definitely not one of those) Wolseley: Link to "cdn2.picryl.com" Ford: https://picryl.com/media/box-type-bus-in-japan-around-1926-28e3e5 -- Last edit: 2024-10-13 19:34:02

Can't tell you much more except that the agreements were dissolved in 1927 and the Wolseley was renamed Sumida in 1928.
