Does anyone know if these are like the one seen at Mount Pleasant at the Old Threshers reunion ? I think that one is a Blue Bird, No 1.

That Blue Bird brand school bus was made on the TT chassis. No. 1 now resides at The Henry Ford.

Those in the photo are chain drive extended car chassis school buses. Neat photo.

The bodies seem to have the same kind of opening side windows i.e. split horizontally with hinges on the outside as the one at Mount Pleasant.could well be from the same builder.
Here's that one:
