Carpenter Body Company, also known over the years as the Ralph H. Carpenter Body Company, Carpenter Body Works, Inc., Carpenter Manufacturing Company, Carpenter Industries, Inc., and Crown By Carpenter, was a bus body manufacturer based in Mitchell, Indiana, United States that started building buses in 1923. Years later, Carpenter purchased the rights to build Crown Coach buses, and in the late 1990s, relocated to the former Wayne Corporation plant in Richmond, Indiana. After relocating to the Wayne plant, Carpenter began to incorporate certain features of the Wayne Lifeguard design. In 2001, Carpenter's parent company, Spartan Motors, closed the Richmond plant and ended production of Carpenter products. In 2003, a serious problem with roof welds in some of the units produced at Mitchell was discovered following a roof failure during a rollover accident in Florida. Owners of Mitchell-manufactured buses were urged to check for NHTSA safety alerts for more information, since a recall campaign by a defunct manufacturer could not be made. Late model units made by Carpenter at the Richmond plant were not involved with the potential flaw.
