Already a very sturdy auto from the get-go, Packard would make a good choice for the extension. The midship wheel set is an interesting concept. The Glacier National Park bus if different - looks a lot like the same buses used at Rainier National Park. I think they were built by or modified from the old Diamond T delivery truck. Any better answers? You've all got me interested, now. Bob (not very far from Mt. Rainier, every day...)

Looks like most of the ladies inside are wearing head scarves. Very interesting in light of today's "head covering" controversies!
