Avenue B did not buy those "Shermans" from Chicago. They were leased from Hausman Bus Sales and they were ex-South Suburban Bus Lines from the Chicago area. |

Rather than type out all this information, and more to follow, I decided to let official NYCTA data speak for it self.
I received this information, in a large packet, back in 1966. |
