    I Felt Very Safe And Secure On This Model Bus When They Were In Service. R.I.P. GM Old Looks. They'll "Never" Be Another Like It. Period!!!

    Me recordaron a los trolebuses que circulaban en la década de los 60's en la CDMX

    This really brings back memories, I grew up in NYC and remember the first of the fishbowl buses that replaced these. These had a unique smell of the exhaust that I still recall today. Great blast from the past...wish we could travel back in time to an earlier simpler era...

    Those window designs on the vintage buses came along about 1954. Prior to that the side windows had square corners. The 1954 and later had rounded corners on the side windows. Great video with memories.

    Wow! Those look immaculate also! I sure remember in Portland, Oregon when Rose City Transit ran them all over in the 1960's--rides just 15 cents. I think Tri-Met still runs a handful of GMC fishbowls along a regular route.

    I'm not too sure, I know they run on the M42 but I guess they run along other routes selectively.

  • @tangomaniac1
    @tangomaniac1 14 лет назад +1

    The roll signs are in the wrong place on the 2969. The correct location is route number on the left (when facing the bus) and the destination on the right above the operator.

    wow, thats really incredible..most major bus municipalities will tell u in a minute, we are not into nostailga.(Septa)...Nice to see Old GMs running..in clear HD looks weird not seeing them in a grainy 60 or 70s 8mm..nice catch..

  • @Jhihmoac
    @Jhihmoac 2 года назад

    Love the look and sound of both the new and old look busses with those classic 6V71 (or turbo 8V71 if you had a big, heavy a/c pack top back on the new look long ride Atlantic City Jersey Coaches) 2 stroke engines...

  • @msotil
    @msotil 4 года назад +1

    They are noisy because their engines are air cooled. They don't have a water jacket to isolate the natural noise of the internal combustion engine.

  • @wmbrown6
    @wmbrown6 11 лет назад +1

    The '2969' that runs every Christmas time is NOT the original bus immortalized in that "Honeymooners" photo. That bus in which Gleason, Carney et al. posed was a TDH-4509 originally built for NYC Omnibus Corp. (one of the many predecessors, in terms of bus routes, to MaBSTOA which is today part of MTA's NYC Bus) in the November-December 1950 period. Apparently, that original bus was long discarded and the TDH-5101 in use today is a "stand-in."

  • @oldwarrant4
    @oldwarrant4 13 лет назад +1

    Ah, the unmistakable sound of the GM 671. The windows in that first bus aren't original. All we need is Ralph Kramden!
