1925 White bus used for Yellowstone tours



The Ebay listing is asking $70,000

White’s venerable 11-passenger TEB buses ferried droves of visitors across the park beginning in 1917, followed by the company’s new and improved 15/45 chassis in 1920. However disaster struck on March 30, 1925. Yellowstone’s bus barn burned to the ground, taking over 90 vehicles with it. The park called the White Motor Company and bought 90 more. The company worked like mad to churn out the new buses, and ultimately delivered on their promise in time. This is one of those replacements.

It was originally purchased from White Truck with a Bender Body Co. body. A family purchased this bus towards the end of World War II. It was located in Northern Washington State where it had been in storage in a windowless shed where it remained until it was restored.
