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. The bus they produced was a 14 passenger coach bus with a hardwood and metal panel body. The body has a high, solid roof with attention to detail. 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.
