WOW!!!!!!!! Talk about NOSTALGIC!!!!! EXCELLENT----OUTSTAND historic photos-------appreciate your sharing these here! Your's Truly still fondly recalls the long-ago heyday of exterior (and interior) bus ads----today's "wrapped" buses do nothing for this old gray fellow! How dated and "innocent" those ads appear today----downright QUAINT! How I used to enjoy seeing the PSNJ/TNJ "batwing" Fishbowls all a-aglow after dark-long long ago----what a sight!

Yep, until about 1969, there were ad racks behind the rear wheel on those " 'stoa" buses. I saw a pic dated 1970 with such ads still on some "Tee-Yay" "Dangerfields."

Ads on bus exteriors were prohibited by law in "Noo Yawk" through 1959. This was why many a vintage pic of a "Sherman" or a "Patton" or the odd White or Twin "Oddball" - whether "Bee O'Tee" or "Tee-Yay" or FACCo or NYCO or Surface (possibly Avenue B & East Broadway as well) - looked rather bare but for their paint scheme and the operator name below the passenger windows. It's funny (peculiar) that the first ad racks on bus exteriors began showing up after the "Tee-Yay" received its first "Jetson" Fishbowls.
I'd mentioned there was a Supreme Court case in or around 1917 that upheld such a ban - and FACCo was among those in that particular case.

WB: Here in "Joisey" it was just the opposite; by the 1920s PSNJ's streetcars and buses were already carrying ad racks; by the 1950s-the local "indies" in the area were also carrying ad racks; I do also well recall the narrow ad carried under the rear window of Old Looks----with a "split panel" ad rack (on the engine hatches)--------eons ago---------"NYO"
