INCREDIBLE HIGH CONDITION STOUGHTON BUS.In the 1920’s and 1930’s the Stoughton Cab and Body Company of Stoughton, Wisconsin designed and manufactured buses exclusively for Chevrolet.

It featured sliding large windows and wicker seats with springs to aid in comfort. The bus had a special heating system that helped to warm the seats of the passengers. It was powered by a Waukesha 4 cylinder engine that could reach 30 mph. This vehicle most likely saw service in Pennsylvania ferrying passengers to and from the Ford Tri-motor. Note: This vehicle is displayed off site. Please contact our office for viewing information. CONDITION: This is a rare restored bus with attention to detail. The paint is strong and the interior is in excellent shape. The wood and metal body is well fitted and in incredible shape for its age.
