Here's a rare gem for you.

This is a Mack model CT-3G one of 75 purchased by the Brooklyn Bus Corp. in 1939. They were numbered 900-974 and they were serial numbers 1088-1162. 37 passengers.

They were the last buses purchased by the Brooklyn Bus Corp.

Note the front destination sign: 2 Word's Fair/Broadway

GREAT PHOTO!!!!!!!!

So very reminiscent of the elderly prewar buses the old Jersey City"-area "indies" rostered, through the mid-1960s; how well i still remember them!

NICE to see a photo of a REAL bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
