| Blue Bird Body Company ... The Blue Bird Body Company was founded by Mr. A.L. Luce in 1927. At some point when Mr. & Mrs. Luce were considering names for their new company (building school busses), they realized that the "Luce Body Company" didn't sound quite right. As the story goes, Mrs. Luce was looking out the breakfast window during one of the "Name" discussions and saw a bluebird sitting on a fence post (there are lots of bluebirds in Ft. Valley) ... and proclaimed, "Bluebird ... that's it, The Blue Bird Body Company." So it was ... and so it is. |
