The Ford Motor Company provided Model AA chassis to many different non-Ford body builders who independently produced a wide variety of different
commercial vehicles. However, for two vehicles - the Ford School Bus and the Ford Passenger Bus - Ford contracted directly with the Union City Bus Company,
Union City, Indiana. Using Union City-produced bodies, Ford introduced the Ford School Bus (330-A) in May 1931 and the Ford Passenger Bus (330-B) in December
1931. The School Bus was produced on both the 131 1/2" and 157" chassis; the Passenger Bus only on the 157" chassis.
With the acquisition of an unrestored 1931 Ford Passenger Bus, the Model A Ford Foundation, Inc. (MAFFI) launched a challenging new restoration project which was completed in Fall fo 2024. Thanks to all the members, companies and Model A hobbiest that supported the project over the years. Without all the support of time, materials and money, this project would never of happened. | ||||||||
