Ford Transit bus


Windsor wartime street scene, with Ford's 27 seat Transit buses much in evidence, as well as the streetcar tracks. The Sandwich, Windsor and Amherstburg  Railway company started buying them soon after they were introduced in 1937, by the end of WW2 they had a fleet of 177. They were powered by a front mounted V8 flathead engine, the bodies were built by Brantford Coach. In the background is the Detroit skyline, note the sign to the tunnel.
