ad 1963 GMC Truck Equipment Catalog pp54 - Coachette House Mobile & City
Service Models
Coachette was started by Carl Graham, formerly regional sales manager for
Marmon- Herrington buses (earlier for Ford). The original design was a
21-passenger city transit bus on a 172-inch wheelbase Ford truck chassis.
Most of the bodies were built by Ward Body Co., Austin, Texas, to
Coachette's specifications. After 1958 the design was changed to a nearly
flat front, and Chevrolet and GM chassis could be specified. Still later
seating capacities up to 37 were offered, and options included air
conditioning and sliding window sashes. About 330 Coachettes were built.
