Awesome. I think it is owned by Kunkel Bus Service. The body of course is one of the first integrated chassis partnerships: Oneida/Reo Safety Bus (previously Rex-Watson). Hmm, its funny how nowadays all we have are "integrated chassis conventionals".

omg!!
That bus just made my day! So good to know that one of those classsic Oneida/REO integrated buses has survived! I've seen a hundred old photos and drawings but never one so recent and in living color!

Jared, I've heard of Rex-Watson from the 30's. Did they evolve into Oneida or into REO? I don't know much about Rex-Watson's history.
