buses

Those coaches are still the early form of bus, Its lovely to see the transition on the early buses from the coaches. I remember seeing an early car looked as though the shafts for the horses were taken away and an engine under a cover put in its place, nothing else had changed. It even still had a canvas body to it and the engine at the front. How Wonderful.
 
Looking at these old photo's, i remember Stockland Coaches owning a model T Ford charabang that they used to put into the local Erdington show in the Sixties. Don't know what happened to it though.
