Simple answer, some manager wanted a woody! You could ask the same question in many, many places today. Why does the CEO need a Lear jet? Why to street dept supervisors drive high end SUVs? Etc.
I thought the Ford smokestacks in the background of the bus picture might be from the Rouge factory complex, but they are actually from the Highland Park power house. This building had several giant gas/steam engines connected to 250 V DC generators to power the Highland Park Factory.
