1936 National Park Bus

If you ever have the chance to visit Yellowstone National Park make sure you take the Yellow Bus Tour. It's worth every penny. ( I am not getting paid to promote this tour.)
Below a little history on the bus.

1936 White Motor Company Model 706 fourteen-passenger National Park Bus, Y.P. Co. 361. Museum Catalog Number 90071. This vehicle, like the Model 614, has a 6-cylinder engine, although a flathead motor (the mainstay of most auto manufacturers before World War II), as opposed to the more sophisticated and expensive overhead valve engine of the Model 614. It also has a noticeably different body style (most evident by the windshield and front end). Also present on the driver's side is a semaphore turn signal, a Wyomingrequirement for buses operating in that state. A divided storage compartment, or "blanket chest" is located behind the rear seat and was used to store blankets for passengers' comfort.
A total of twenty-seven 1936 Model 706 buses were used in Yellowstone, and by 1939, a total of ninety-eight Model 706s of various years were in use (the largest number of National Park Buses operating anywhere). Buses of this style were also used in Yosemite and Glacier National Parks. Some of the buses were still being used during the late sixties and early seventies. They were very gradually phased out of use by the company. This particular vehicle was used in the park until at least 1958 (the date of the Montana registration and "last service" stickers). By 1967, the bus was listed on a Yellowstone Park Company inventory as an antique "not in service."
All the information was garnered on National Parks website.

Enjoy.
