GM 5301 D.C. Transit Fishbowl
The GM 5301, better known as the fishbowl, entered production in the fall of 1959. The first two produced were demo models and the next 75 were delivered to D.C. transit System in Washington during September and October of that year. Our model of this superb 40 foot bus represents fleet number 5700, the first one of that order to hit the road.
