| The only thing better would be an Old Look on flanged wheels. That would look kind of like a PCC! | |

| I guess that was opposed to "Dreamliners" that I think the GM Fishbowls were referred to as when they took over the PCC routes. | |

| I'm pretty sure Sun Valley is long gone too. They used to run some routes up to NV instead of or maybe in addition to Greyhound. The Phoenix-Mesa line was the only suburban line they had that I'm aw ... | |

| You had a lot more Old Look surburbans to admire than I did. Phoenix Transit didn't have any so it was just the few that Sun Valley had.
As for the Flx New Looks, I'd never even seen one until I s ... |

| The only "indy" around here that I remember was Sun Valley. One could transfer between Phoenix Transit and Sun Valley. The Phoenix buses had the route number on the transfer and Sun Valley ... | |

| Another beauty. As I've mentioned, Sun Valley Bus Lines in Phoenix had several of these for the then suburban line running from Phoenix to Mesa. I think at least one of them lasted until the early 8 ... | |

| None of those "new generation" square window Old Looks in Phoenix either. I believe there were a few of the post war Twins when we moved here in the mid-50's but I never rode one. I do rem ... | |

| The last square window Old Look I saw in Phoenix was in 1972. It was parked at the main bus stop in downtown Phoenix but not in service. I don't think any of those had been in regular service for ye ... | |

| There were some GM Fishbowls in service not far away until 2005 or 6, I believe. New York Bus Service. I was watching them on webcams back then. Very well maintained and nice looking.
