Gillig

Although they remain a player in the West Coast transit bus business, Gillig’s main claim to fame are the chrome yellow school buses constructed by the firm from the late 1920s into the 1990s, some of which remain in service transporting students to school in the states bordering the Pacific Ocean.

The firm was founded by Jacob Gillig (b.1853-d.1907), the son of a German-born harness-maker who saw to it that his four sons were well-suited to earn a living in the carriage and metalworking trades.
