Very few buses were built during WW2.
Flxible Clippers were becoming popular.
ACF buses were also used during the war, and ran them throughout the war. Later, they became Brill buses.
Luggage was carried on the roof of some buses at this time.
Yellow Z-model buses were used on both the East and West Coasts.
At the end of the war, the ACF Brill buses were popular. The entrance door was located behind the front wheel wells, and they had a seat up front next to the driver, which the drivers disliked as passengers sometimes blocked the right-side mirror. Therefore, they would pile items on the front seat to prevent passengers from sitting there when the bus wasn't full. They also had higher seats, allowing luggage to be stored under the seats.
Greyhound Helicopter service came in to being, but not for long as it was a financial loss.
The Highway Traveler GX1 was introduced as a luxury coach, but it didn't last very long.
After the war, the Silverside was one of the most popular buses.
The 40-foot-long GX2 was then introduced.
