WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked

TWO magnificent portraits of old, old friends!!!!!!!! Very Happy

Mom and I used to ride those gorgeous BRILLS on DE CAMP's old #22 out to Verona (from JSQ), to visit my aunt and uncle who then lived in West Orange.

Those buses LOOKED and SOUNDED tough!!!!!! Wink

I have a number of pictures of the O&B Old Looks in the back lot of the Fairview Garage, that I took one quiet summer Sunday in 1974.

When we moved here in 1974, I saw those big Old Looks every day, and often just had a good ol' time riding them! Very Happy

Today's NJT equipment just doesn't do it for me...... Sad

THANKS AGAIN for bringing back some great ol' memories!! Wink

LOVE those PSNJ Old Look suburbans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy

I especially like the picture at Penn Station, Newark; when that long-ago picture was snapped, PCC's still ruled the City Subway! Very Happy

I've long called the Old Look suburbans "Jersey Buses", as when I was a kid, they seemed to be just about everywhere.....man, I miss those days!!!!

THANKS AGAIN for sharing these AWESOME old photos of REAL buses!!!!!! Very Happy

(I also really miss those PS Fishbowls, as well.....cannot believe it is now 30 YEAR, at least, since I last saw or rode one!)
