As a person who loves antique and classic cars I used to get excited when Doug Demuro would have something a little bit older on his channel, like maybe an Italian car from the 70s. Zach's like, "Hold my beer" and then proceeds to make a video about a 1930 Ford Model AA bus. Man I love this channel.
Now that is just plain awesome! I WOOD love to drive something like that. I once drove a 1935 Auburn 851 as featured on my channel. It was such a major cool and wonderful experience.
My first time to your channel. So much praise to you, my friend! My father, aunts and uncles most likely road buses like these when they were growing up, and probably never gave it a thought. Growing up in the '60's & '70's in rural Oregon, my younger sisters & I also relied on school district busses, often times requiring us to be "at the road" by 6:25AM each morning. I remember these busses being very old and smaller than the larger "city" busses. Our bus drivers typically had a cigarette hanging out of their mouths, and instinctively shouted " just shut up and sit down". Probably more info you needed, but I had to share.
Hi, Zack! Great review, glad to see some love for pre-war cars! The Ford Model A has to be one of the most interesting cars of all time to me. I always really loved pre-war cars because of cars such as the Model A. When you talk about how many variants there were of it, I was also shocked... You really do learn something new everyday about them. The wood in those cars being real is something else too, I believe the last cars to use real wood were the early 1950s woody wagons but I could be wrong... 25 MPH for a school bus is something else too lol. It does look like a warm inviting bus in a way, but getting place to place sounds tideous. Thanks for sharing this!
in russia they did but i dont beleive they did in north america (before russia was americas enemy, ford stopped making the model a and aas and sold the tooling to GAZ who continued to make them until the 1950s, it was the soviets who decided to add a third axle, and name it AAA
@@hamburgerhamburgerv2 I'd really love to be able to see these things preserved as they were when they were in service or hear it described by someone who saw them during the period.
@ omg. I bet you drive an enormous SUV gas guzzler with halogen non-energy efficient lights. What do you get like 9 miles to the gallon in that thing? That’s right. You just got owned. Sorry not sorry.
My Grandpa who is older than this bus is still alive.... amazing.
He probably rode a bus like this.

1:40 It's a dually that still looks like it needs bigger/more tires. lol
That is THE oldest school bus I have ever seen. Nice vintage history!
Yes!! Come and review our 1974 Fishbowl! Along with the Rav8!

This is cooler than the NSX 👍
I love school buses, and this is clearly no exception. This video certainly made my day! Thanks for the video Zack!
Absolutely beautiful piece of Model A history . I need to go there and see it for myself. Thank you for sharing it.
Used to be made of wood.
Morgan: am I a joke to you?
Been waiting for this one to come out!! I have also driven that bus and I can testify, Zack is correct, it is AMAZING!!

This is probably the type of AA bus that appeared in "The Wayward Bus" by John Steinbeck.
Now that looks like it's fun to drive!
How cool is this! Thank you, sir and Happy Holidays to you!
I want to live in this thing, it’s just so cozy looking with all the wood
that school bus looks really cool 😎
You're at the Gilmore Car Museum!
I'm a retired school bus driver. I'd LOVE to take it for a spin! (Don't think I'd want to drive a full load of kids, though!)
I've been to this car museum in Michigan. It's very big and very cool.
GAZ vehicles used the Ford model B engine, an upgraded version of the model A engine which was available until 1934 in US models.
"Please let this be a normal field trip."
holy cow they just used the same model A motor to drag that thing around?
Back then their was no safety regulations as we have today
03:08 BIG FRIGGIN BOTTLE FAIL!!!
Cool old bus
Somebody in an accident with this bus should worry more about splinters then broken bones.
Oppenheimer… maybe rode in one
Holy Shit!
What trim level is your 2019 mazda? And which one is better?
I believe he drives a base model
That's funny - Not so Rapid Transit
I like school again...
Good stuff
They made a triple a version
in russia they did but i dont beleive they did in north america (before russia was americas enemy, ford stopped making the model a and aas and sold the tooling to GAZ who continued to make them until the 1950s,
it was the soviets who decided to add a third axle, and name it AAA
Would really like to know if the inside was finished to that degree for the children in the period.
No chance.

Where are the LED energy efficient lightbulbs? Or the safety crumple zones? This car isn’t very politically correct.
Oh shut up. Everything after Reagan is ruined.
Blame the real people who are responsible for once, not a character they made up to divert the blame.
