Cloverleaf Local Schools Bus #10
This is the former bus #10 from the Cloverleaf Local School District in Ohio. This was a 1969 International Loadstar with a Carpenter body. Note that this bus had radiator shutters which leads me to speculate that this could have been a diesel bus which would have been pretty rare in Ohio during this era. Loadstar chassis began offering diesel engines in 1966 and the DV-462 or DV-550 were the typical engines offered. These engines were based on heavy duty gasoline engines that International used in their truck lines. I believe International also offered a Detroit Diesel 6V-53 as an option as well, which must have sounded pretty wild in a school bus! Photo by Gavin Berwald.
