The 1940 Chevrolet Superior 14,000 GVW 28 passenger bus camper conversion is a very solid and straight all-steel body. The bus used petrol engine and, in some instance, coal gas engine. Coal is converted into coal gas by cranking the handle for about 15 minutes .the coal gas was used to run the buses in 1940-1945 during World War II, due to non availability of petrol [coal gas buses were used in kerala and madars(tamil nadu).
These busses are all Chevrolets. The first one on the left with all the chromium grille pieces is a 1941 to 1946 model; The second one with the girl and child in front of it is a 1940 model Chevrolet which had a larger chromium band at the top of the grille spelling out the name "Chevrolet"; while The third one is a 1939 Chevrolet with the narrower top chromium band and "Chevrolet" in much smaller letters.
