hmm rear fender does look a bit distinct, the cabin is very common however... :think:

I agree. Most chassis were open cabs until the early 90's.
Hmmm... :think:

the cabin was very common on multiple producers back in the 70s so I think we can name it after the "coach builder"

(scroll down to the last engine - the open cab)
I would agree. The only other possibility I was thinking of was Seagrave. I was going by not only the fender design, but also the cab window. Most of the other makes - KME, American LaFrance, Pierce, etc., their windows were more of a square-shaped design vs. this where it curves with the cab cut-off. The one I found here apparently according to the poster, sits on a Spartan chassis.

so you don't think it's an FMC body ? most buses on IMCDB are often listed by the coach builder not the chassis maker so we could do in some cases with fire trucks too


BTW any ideas on this one from SF Airport, very distinctive 3 pieces windshield but couldn't find any one like it

So Fleetwood was a maker of motor and mobile homes. Confusing...
