1976~ Blue Bird/Ford ex-MN or IA? IMG_2933
Unknown operator, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, 2010.
Although photographed in Wisconsin, this was not originally a Wisconsin bus. Wisconsin was the very last US state to specify red-only flashers, not converting to red/amber 8-ways until 2016. So, where could this have come from? Michigan was also on 4-ways for the duration of the 1970s, while Illinois buses typically had front-facing reflectors. That leaves Iowa and Minnesota as the only likely places of provenance...although I'm not an expert on either states' standards. Any ideas?
