Cub Industries Inc. - 1950-1951 - White Pigeon, Michigan


   

Prime mover in the formation of Cub Industries was Howard Munshaw, formerly with Yellow, Reo, Pony Cruiser and Spartan. The lightweight 19-passenger Cub, based on a 160-inch-wheelbase front-engine Ford truck chassis, was another in a long line of attempts to serve a limited U.S. market for small, economical transit buses. Approximately 40 buses were made in two years.
