Wagner's Ford Trucks since 1905 pictures a striking Rhoda-bodied 1924 Ford
Model TT bus. Rhoda called the vehicle the Rhoda Sedan Coach, and failed to
mention its Ford origins. The sleek low-slung body was very similar to
mid-twenties Fageol coaches and it also featured faux landau bars commonly
seen on funeral vehicles at that time. The Ford origins were effectively
masked by Rhoda's use of custom fenders, plus a non-Ford hood and radiator.
The only visible Ford products were the standard Ford Model TT wheels with
removable rims. The passenger side of the body featured 4 large doors,
indicating that there was at least three rows of seats in the rear coach
compartment. The vehicle had oval windows in the rear quarters with a
leatherette landau roof with customary landau bar and looked like the
expensive private coaches that would become popular in the late twenties and
thirties.
