I guess that was opposed to "Dreamliners" that I think the GM Fishbowls were referred to as when they took over the PCC routes.


Cyberider:

When I was kid, I gave nicknames to virtually every bus I knew; Fishbowls were "Jetson Buses" and "World's Fair Buses" Wink

BTW:

I STILL have the tin friction GREYHOUND Fishbowl Mom bought me at the '64 Fair! Very Happy (I also have a scale model by CORGI, of one of GREYHOUND's '64 Fair Fishbowls!) Very Happy

Interesring.........

I wonder how many realize that the iconic Fishbowl AND the equally-iconic PCC were BOTH being manufactured in the 1950s! Shocked

Of course, by the time that the first Fishbowls began arriving in 1959, the last PCCs built were already several years old...............
