{"product_id":"wayne-corporation-car-magnet","title":"Wayne Corporation Car Magnet","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMark your vehicle with a piece of Wayne Corporation history. Wayne’s path from an 1837 Indiana foundry to Richmond-built school buses reflects nearly two centuries of American manufacturing. The company introduced a motorized School Car, advanced full-steel bodies and safety glass, and later developed the Lifeguard and Busette. This car magnet suits transportation collectors, school-bus enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to the changing story of American vehicle production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWayne Corporation was an American vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana. Its history began in 1837, when the Witt family established a foundry in Dublin, Indiana. The business moved to Richmond in 1875, reorganized as Wayne Works in 1888, and evolved from horse-drawn wagons and student-transport “school cars” into automobile bodies and buses. Wayne introduced its first motorized School Car in 1914, adopted full-steel bus construction in 1930, and developed major safety features including guard rails, safety glass, and the 1973 Lifeguard body with continuous longitudinal panels. The 1956 merger with Divco created Divco-Wayne Corporation. Ownership later passed to Boise Cascade in 1968, then Indian Head and Thyssen-Bornemisza. A new Richmond plant opened near Interstate 70 in 1967. Wayne introduced the Busette in 1973, helping establish the cutaway-chassis small-bus format. After market overcapacity and losses during the 1980s, Wayne declared bankruptcy and discontinued operations in 1992. The brand was briefly reorganized as Wayne Wheeled Vehicles through 1995, while the Richmond factory was later used by Carpenter before closing in 2000.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e7.5'' × 4.5''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e7.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% vinyl face with matte finish for a muted, non-reflective look\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Black magnetic backing grips metal surfaces and removes cleanly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- All-weather durability—resists rain and sun exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in three sizes to fit vehicles, toolboxes, or merch displays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Printed with Digital-Direct Printing (DDP) for sharp, long-lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wipe the dust off gently with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wipe the dust off gently with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"7.5'' × 4.5'' \/ Rectangle \/ 1 pc","offer_id":54627343106332,"sku":"65764444685271168244","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/7398212712208965388_2048.jpg?v=1790783284","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/wayne-corporation-car-magnet","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
