Well dun ......tiz a
Oneida Truck
Oneida is one of several American cars and trucks whose name is derived from American Indians, in this case a tribe which migrated from New York state to Wisconsin.
The first Oneida trucks were made in four sizes from 1 to 3Y2-tons, all with 4-cylinder Continental engines, 3speed Cotta transmissions and Timken worm drive. By 1919 a 5-tonner had been added to the range, and new components included Hinkley engines and Wisconsin axles. For a time Oneida produced an agricultural tractor, and also a 2-ton electric truck from 1920 to 1922. This was a cab-over design like most electrics of the time, with batteries suspended from sides of the frame. Financial difficulties caused two reorganizations of Oneida during the 1920s, but production continued on a small scale with trucks in the 1 to 5-ton classes and buses for 25, 30 and 42 passengers. Engines were Continental and Hinkley, and from 1927 onwards, Hercules.
Not to be confused with Oneida Products Co. of Canastota, NY, a school bus body builder of the 1940s-1960s

I concur. (Headlights look like mid 20's Auburn ? I was looking from that angle)

A bit more info:-
Manufacturer: Yellow Truck & Coach Division of General Motors
Engine: 6-cylinder, 616 cid, 150 hp
Wheelbase: 250"
The exterior appearance of this private motor coach is that of a conventional Model Z-250 passenger bus; however, this prototype RV offers all the comforts of home with air conditioning, Pullman berths, a kitchen, telephone, and lavatory including a shower. It was usually operated by a crew of three.
The bus was designed for and initially used by the president of the Buick Motor Division. It was later purchased by Anheuser-Busch of Saint Louis, Missouri where it provided August A. Busch, Jr., first class transportation across the country from 1941 to 1946.
Anheuser-Busch renamed it 'Adolphus' after the founder of that company.
