AWESOME selection of CLASSICS......REAL buses, indeed.....THANK YOU for posting! Wink

While I DO remember sometimes seeing these buses as a lad, 60-odd years back, these are not the buses I was referring to.

The buses I was referring to were operated by "TRACKLESS TRANSIT" (MOUNTAIN COACHES); these buses ran on the now-defunct #144 from Penn Station, Newark, to the old Caldwell loop.

Mom and I rode the# 144 often (1971-1974) for shopping and other trips; I rode the #144 often into Newark often, to railfan the City Subway, back in the PCC days.

From 1974 until 1975, I used the #144 as part of my daily commute, during my senior year of high school in West Orange, boarding at Penn Station, Newark, and getting off at Pleasantdale (West Orange)

I only remember Fishbowls in use.

Anyway, those pictures were, nonetheless, AWESOME......ALWAYS a pleasure to see vintage photos of classic "Joisey" buses! Very Happy

See my topic on the New York board, "NYCTA 4507s to MOUNTAIN COACHES", page 1, (8/30/2019), for further details on "MOUNTAIN COACHES" and its buses.....
