Owned by Curtis, who is the third owner of this 707 Jetway Airporter Limousine. The history from Curtis is that first owner was Travel All Limousine that at the time was in the Town & Country Hotel in San Diego. The second also a limousine service, then Carey San Diego bought it in 1973 were I worked and drove this car. I had to wait for almost 30 years to buy this from the them, sadly it sat as a lawn ornament for 4 years so I am having to deal with the rust as well as engine problems. I am always looking for information as to what part came off of what car and others that may still be around. If any one has information on these cars or who has one please email me at toro68@aol.com |

Thanks to Edmund who sent this in. This was seen near a Truck Stop in Sawyer, Michigan. This may be a Stageway but uncertain. Update on 12/11/2012: Jan from Benton Harbor spotted the car still in the area parked at a fruit/vegetable stand on Red Arrow Highway, still unrestored.   |

This 12-passenger Nash Ambassador Limousine (the only one of its kind) was specially constructed in 1947 for use by Nash engineers and their assistants in traveling between the Kenosha plant and proving grounds.  |

Built on a Model A chassis these buses were built in the late 1920's to transport air passengers the short distance between the Ford airport and various areas of the Ford company complex.  |
 George believes this to be a 1942 Chevy "Bus" Sedan, converted 15 passenger 4x2 US Army "BG1503" 6-cyl. 83 HP 3F1R Military conversion by Fitzjohn Coach Company of Muskegon, Michigan. As a means of saving critical rubber and helping to eliminate traffic bottlenecks at the aircraft and other production plants, Fitzjohn developed this 15 passenger Defense Workers Coach from a standard 5 passenger Chevy sedan. The body framework was white ash with exterior panels of tempered Masonite Presswood Seats are full cross type seating 3 passengers each. |

Thanks to QQ for this latest info on 09/06/07 This is a 1937 Cadillac Model 75 Bender Bodied with a 156 inch wheelbase and a L-head V8 346 cubic inch engine (135 HP), only 1 of 3 are known to exist. Yellowstone, Glacier and Yosemite operated 12 passenger buses, what were eventually called "airport Limos" or "stretches". Yellowstone and Glacier used White buses with the Bender body and Yosemite used Cadillac. Rumor was a Caddy dealer named Don Lee (or his son Tom) wanted Yosemite to be a step above the other parks, and was successful in his efforts. As the corporate Chauffeur, I (QQ) used to drive this vehicle. These photos by Jim Fairchild from 1981 in Reno Nevada.    |
