I have posted this photo from my Father's collection before and seen it in other places. Tourists "Making Do" with a sense of humor. Perhaps College Kids. The rear plate may be Utah - 1934 or not. They were using the '24-'25 YPC Buses at that time.

Looks like it's ready for an adventure.

Utah plate? The left fender says "Ogden" and the right says "Utah". Great photo.

In looking at the background I think this might be taken in a parking lot at Yellowstone Canyon. The tourists have hiked up some trails for a better look.
Yes, Ogden may be written on the right side of the touring body also.

Is that a White tour bus?

Thanks for this pic. It's a great photo of early 20th century life struggles.

Struggle ?!? 300 miles in a model T, open country, mostly dirt and gravel roads, no traffic no crowds, camping out ? Sounds like heaven to me ! :lol: fun for some, not for all. :). Those days are long gone. :cry:

Larry, that is a White bus I believe.

Yes, one of the many 15-45 Buses used in the park. These were used starting in 1922 along with previous White Models introduced in 1916 and 1917. A few 30's models replaced these gradually and in '35 still newer Whites were purchased. The bronze yellow looks different in different light.
