Carpenter coaches are fairly common in the Power Wagon world - there are four of them known to exist at the moment. The one pictured below was being used as a parts storage shed at Vintage Power Wagons. The front clip and cowl have been removed, unfortunately.

Another Carpenter bus pictured at a car meet in the 1970's (photo by Zeke Betkowski). This has a distintive marquee crest on it. This bus got quite rusted during its life in the northeast and is currently being renovated by Spencer Woods. It now has axles, engine and transmission from a 1991 Cummins in it. Carpenter body model 1208.

Reed sent this picture of his bus, it appears nearly identical to Spencer's, body model 1210. The model # is C3-PW6-126 with a GVW of 9500 lbs., date of delivery 10-56. He has had this bus since the 1970's, and he was told this bus was used in Saranac Lake, New York, in the Adirondack Mountains near Lake Placid, one of three, back in the fifties and early sixties.
