Harrington?

Bingo!
This bus was bodied by Harringtons for Mr Thomas Harrington himself for him and his buddies to go huntin', shootin' and fishin', in 1933!

So now all I need to know to wrap up this puzzle is:

What's the model name of Bus #24 and when does it date from?
Who bodied Bus #33?

I'm pleased to say it wasn't called Fanfare, no!
You're very close with the year but not quite there.

Okay, thanks.

The reason I mentioned Fanfare was I thought the coach may have been an integral vehicle and I remember that Weymann had a Fanfare body c.1955.

The year of this one is probably 1954.

The search continues!

That's it, yes.
Half a point then; await the model name for the other half!

Wow!  You found it!

So that's the other half-point to get you the full point for the name and date.
Good digging!

So the only question still unanswered is "Who built bus #33?"
It would be nice to get this one answered so I can move this puzzle to Solved, as I'm making good progress on compiling another bus puzzle but I don't want it running at the same time as this one.
So come on guys; try a few Indian bodybuilders!

I could move this puzzle as well if someone could come up with the answer to who bodied #33?

I don't really want to move it to the Black Hole so maybe you'd like me to declare who it was, then this one can be put to bed?

I think for the sake of one bodybuilder it would be a good idea to reveal the final piece of the jigsaw.
As you say it will end up ignored in the BH........
Maybe some others have an idea too?
