One does not see too many photos of trolleybuses with batwings; this interesting "honorary mention" 1963 vintage photo hails from "Bah-ston"............

"Where the batwings once roamed...............

Am curious as to how many cities had batwing-equipped buses; from old photos I jave seen, "Bah-ston" sure wasn't a "batwing" city....

In an old edition of "MOTOR COACH AGE"(focusing on Kansas City) there is a photo of a batwing-equipped AM GENERAL, as well as a batwing Fishbowl.....

Thinking...............

Many "suboiban" Fishbowls carried framed ad cards; you cannot help but wonder if a few, somewhere, were ever fitted for batwings...............
