Yellowstone Buses
John Mueller of North Star Auto Body talked about the restoration of some of the old White Motor Company buses used in and around Yellowstone Park from the 1930’s into the 1960’s.
In the early 2000’s Bruce Austin bought the bus and began working with North Star to have it refurbished. With parts no longer available many had to be made from scratch or refurbished.
