From the Museum Placard:
The one-ton Model TT was produced by Ford in 1917. During Ford's eleven year run, the company produced a total of 1,447,441 units of the Model TT. In 1928, however this automobile was replaced with the Model AA. The chassis of this automobile was not only suited to fit school buses, but was also designed for other bodies, such as ambulances, coal dump beds, and ice cream trucks. Due to such mass production of the Model TT School Bus, the automobile went from costing $600 in 1917, to only costing $325 in 1927.
