I found this over on BangShift. An NAPCO 4wd Mercury!
I want one....but my car money is gonna be tied up in a challenge car
Unless I use it as a challenge car lol
My mom said her school bus (rural Iowa in the early 50's) was a Jeep with an extended rear and bench seats. She said the regular buses couldn't get back to most of the farms. Kinda interesting that those conversions aren't around anymore.
That's cool.
I kicked around the idea of doing 4WD on mine but figured towing the Samurai would be cheaper.
NAPCO was an interesting company. They were based in Minneapolis, and if I recall correctly was started by a man who ran a junkyard. They did a lot of 4wd conversions for various makes and models up until the manufacturers started to build them from the factory. These days, any authentic NAPCO conversion is pretty collectible; I imagine there were very few school buses ever built.
