Corbeil 1st Premier

The Corbeil Conventional or 1st Premier was a high floor type-C school bus offered on a variety of chassis, most prominently the International chassis. Ford and Freightliner chassis were also produced.

The 1st Premier name was only used for the first years of production, and these models have "1st Premier" instead of the happy face logo above the door and the driver's window.

In about 2001, the roof area above the windshield and above the rear emergency door was restyled.

It is speculated that Corbeil was unable to continue producing large school buses after Blue Bird introduced their Vision chassis, and IC Corporation products were introduced to Canada (after being marketed under Ward and Amtran in the United States for years).
