The All American
Since 1948, Blue Bird's All American transit style school bus has been
setting the standard for safety. Following that tradition, the All American
delivers the latest safety and strength features, as well as superior
performance and longevity.
The All American comes in two styles: rear engine (RE) and front engine
(FE). Both offer unparalleled features and options. The flat front,
panoramic windshield and exterior mirror system allow for better sight lines
from every angle. The one-piece roof bow and unitized body construction
ensure superior strength and durability. And like all Blue Bird buses, the
All American is built reliable and easy to service.
At Blue Bird, where safety comes first, we believe every child deserves
to ride in an All American.

Features of the All American School Bus
 |
Improved Visibility
Blue Bird has further enhanced its inherently safer flat front
transit-style design with a larger, more panoramic windshield that gives
the All American driver the most comprehensive field of vision around
the front of the vehicle.
|
Tighter Turns
The All American FE has a much tighter turning radius versus a
conventional school vehicle. This maneuverability advantage is achieved
by the FE's shorter wheelbase. |
