Replaced with the newer "Jetson" Fishbowls, no doubt.
Three days after such "trackless trolley coach" "soivice" ended, "Boigan" Street and West 5th Street depots closed; a new depot, Fresh Pond, opened; and the B-72 Junction Boulevard line was transferred from Crosstown to Flushing depot and its jurisdiction changed from Brooklyn Bus Division to Queens Bus Division, in anticipation of its transfer of operation early in '61 to Triboro Coach and its being rebranded as Q-72. |

W.B.:
Given the fact that more than a few American trolleybuses were sold for service elsewhere after retirement, I always thought itoff that no buyers were interested in the Brooklyn coaches, then barely more than a decade old.
Odd, also, that neither Branford nor Seashore was interested in purchasing one of the coaches for their then-expanding collections......

Just was thinking......
PSNJ replaced their dual-powered ASVs in two stages; all HUDSON Division routes were converted to buses in 1947, while the ESSEX Divusion lines were converted the following year.......
