Yellow Jammers are antique buses used at Yellowstone National Park to transport park visitors on specialty tours. They were manufactured as the Model 706 by the White Motor Company from 1936-1939. The distinctive vehicles, with roll-back canvas convertible tops and wood body, were the product of noted industrial designer Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, and originally operated in seven National Parks. Yellowstone National Park still operates seven of their original buses today. Yellowstone's seven buses were restored in 2007 by TransGlobal. The bodies were removed from their original chassis and built upon modern Ford E-Series van chassis. The original standard transmissions were also replaced with newer automatics, removing the trademark "jamming" sound.

The Grand Loop Road Historic District encompasses the primary road system in Yellowstone National Park. The US Army Corps of Engineers originally planned much of the 140-mile system in the early days of the park, when it was under military administration. The Grand Loop Road provides access to the major features of the park, including the Upper, Midway and Lower geyser basins, Mammoth Hot Springs, Tower Fall, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone Lake. A number of other historic districts adjoin the Grand Loop in Yellowstone, including Mammoth Hot Springs, North Entrance Road, Roosevelt Lodge, Lake Fish Hatchery and Old Faithful historic districts. Grand Loop Rd. includes unsigned portions of US 20, US 89, US 191 and US 287, all of which traverse the park. Wikipedia"
