1936 Chester IL bus found and under restoration
Hi, I recently purchased a 1936 Yellow Coach Bus. During the restoration process I discovered it was operated out of Chester IL. The sign painted on it is "Chester Coach Lines Inc" with "ILL" 0087, Illinois old acronym "ILL". I have found several very interesting items about this bus to include segregation... All can be seen here. https://www.facebook.com/1936-Yellow-Coach-Bus-Restoration-502820166748102/...

It would be nice to inform you readers of this find and history as it is a very important topic...
I currently live in High Ridge Mo, near STL.
