    This review simply just shows why you’re one of the best MTA fleet reviewers to ever upload! Well done as always! I didn’t grow up with these but I can tell why they were so important to the NYCT fleet

    Goodnight sir and thank you for making us another one of your great video sir. But this time you had took us back the past the late 1950's to the the early 1960's. This is when the MTA had started to graduated from the GMC Old Look Buses and the old School Mack Buses to GMC New Looks Buses aka the Fishbowl Bus. Some of them had came with AC's and some didn't. They where the Buses of the Future of that time.sir. I was very young when the MTA where still using them . But I had rode on them a few times as a Child and as a Adult when the MTA use to run on the Holiday Buses a few years ago. And welcome back Sir.

    This is by far one of the most interesting reviews I’ve ever seen you do! I never thought I would ever see anybody do a whole review on NYCs first ever fleet of GMC New Looks/Fishbowls, I also never knew that MaBSTOA formed in 1962 thanks to Fifth Avenue Coach Company.

    Wonderful review. I remember correctly I used to travel on those buses not in New York, but in Harrisburg, PA. Those were the best buses in that state.

    Fifth Ave Coach Company buses 1-10 were renumbered 3211-3220 by MaBSTOA. These were the only A/C equipped 5301s.

    I've only seen the antenna covers on TA and OA buses. Other operators must have radio antennas and bus washes. What was different that they didn't need the protective covers. Did they all mount the antennas elsewhere or have different washes?
