Old buses in LV

[lvmci]

Heres a picture from old Las Vegas, maybe 1940s30s, can anyone identify the brand of buses? I don't recognize those tail lights, lvmci...

Strange indeed.  My first hunch was that they were very old, (modern at the time) General Motors.  Similar to the "Blue Sleds" run by the City of Bakersfield CA up until about 1972.

Lo oks like these are conventional buses with the motor out front .Don't know if this applies to LV or not,but around here the ones I barely remember were Whites.When we first moved to Ashevlle probably in 1950 ,there was an abandoned one on a vacant lot that I passed walking to school .One of my daily stops was to play on that thing .They were replaced buy the GM "SLOOP BACK "pushers

Hi Rhett, I found another picture which I wasn't able to put on here that shows the buses from this era with a flat nose not a dog nose, I still wasn't able to recognize them, later when I was a kid they were the single headlight GM's that are so recognizable from the fifties and sixties, lvmci...

It's a little hard to tell from the angle, but it looks like the rear axle is quite near the back of the bus.  That's a characteristic of Twin Coaches.  Could be ACF's, but my vote is Twin Coach.
