All:
Toys were once available of the GREYHOUND "Glide-A-Ride" and "Escorter"; like the toy Fishbowls, these once-commonplace toys are valuable collectors' items today.
When you do see one come up for sale every now and then, you can see that they are indeed "pricey" collectibles (but, of course, certainly worthy of inclusion in any GREYHOUND collection!)

This rare toy "GLIDE-A-RIDE" is seen with its original box; this, of course, makes this handsome and historical toy all the more valuable to both GREYHOUND and World's Fair collectors.....

Like the Fishbowls and sleek AMF monorail, the "GLIDE-A-RIDE" indeed gave the distinct, glowing aura of a gleaming, sparkling, and wonderous Jetson-esque future......
