Jul 02, 04 | 5:52 amPublic Service had busses that looked like that on the 108 route, between the Public Service building, near Broad St. and Raymond Bus., in Newark and the Port Authority bus terminal in New York.

Jul 02, 04 | 6:04 amI don't know much about busses, but thaught that GMs, with fillited (rounded off corners) windows, always had air intakes above the rear, quarter-windows.
I thaught that suburbans like this, instead of front air intake being over the destination board, was under the window, where the GM lable and wings usually went.

Oct 25, 05 | 8:55 amI would own it and believe it was a true workhorse for Public Servive Coorniated Transport during the 1950's. They also made a longer version of that model that was used on the # 118 line Newark-NewYork Express bus.

Nov 06, 05 | 1:19 pmMany a summer ride to Wildwood, NJ. from my parent's home in West Philly was filled with the sights of these beauties, once over the Walt Whitman Bridge. I always had a window seat in the back of Dad's Plymouth and always eagerly eyed the distant road ahead and behind for these buses in the mid to late fifties. I was born in 1953.
We always passed the Turnersville Public Service. bus garage on the Black Horse Pike... a highlight of every trip for me. The Wildwood Bus Terminal was also a bee hive of activity for viewing these buses on busy holidays during those summers. KiddyLand Amuesment Pier was located directly across the street...Oak Ave. from the terminal...another favorite spot of mine to see those Public Service. buses. The Wildwood to Villas route some years later still ran these older buses during the boardwalk evening rush in the early evenings and later in the night, with the folks going back to the motels and camp grounds across the Rio Grande bridge.

Another beautiful GM bus. But it lacks the air intake over the rear half windows.
Also, the window in the emergency door, (on the left side of the bus,) may have been one piece, not openable.
