Con-Cor
Con-Cor produced a line of 1:87 HO scale Blue Bird body on International chasis school buses in a number of variations.  The boxes read "Manufactured in Cooperation with herpa models of West Germany".  Con-Cor buses represent a unique sector in HO scale layouts as there are few other school buses in that scale.

It appears that some item numbers have multiple variations.  In particular certain models of the yellow school bus can be found with a white roof.  These white roof variations also feature brown seats instead of the green of the yellow topped buses.  In addition the white top variations appear to be more scarce.  It is unclear whether or not all models had both white top and yellow top variations.  I might speculate that the white top models are a later production run.  Possibly intended to be representative of a later time frame like the 1990's, whereas the green seats are more suited for 1980s layouts.

It appears that number 0004-001040 and 0004-001041 were not item numbers used by Con-Cor.  Item 0004-001042 is an Atlas Van Lines semi-tractor trailer, numbering then returns to buses.
