The frame was cut off just ahead of the crossmember directly below the windshield area and yes, that created a trailer when a hitch was added. On metal pieces, including the left door, that were stored inside the body for decades there is school bus yellow paint that could well be the age of the body itself. My hunch is this was a locally built, simple "van" body and that it may have been one of the earliest "school buses" in this city which at the time would have bee a couple hundred people at most. Over time I'll seek out a local historian /photography collector to see if he can add info.
I have created the Christmas lighting display. No artistry here; just an old car nut with eccentric sense of humor I hope the neighbors will say.
