[NEW YORK OMNIBUS 2629]

Cyberider:

Oddly enough, none of the old "indy" companies I knew in Hudson County ever rostered any of these "new Old Looks"; they went straight from Old Looks to Fishbowls, in the later 1960s.

I agree; the "quad" headlights did not look well on these buses.

Again, I still think it odd that these new Old Looks reverted back to the original square windows, which dated back to the YELLOW COACH days.

Essentially (with the exception of those buses with quad headlights), you had a 1960s bus that looked like the ones being built prior to 1948............

Here's a few glimpses of a 1946 TDH-4008 from the 1949 Mickey Rooney race car drama, "THE BIG WHEEL" (note, also, the comments posted by our late friend and legendary bus expert, Mr. Linsky)..............
