Chicago Transit Authority mid 1960's era Flxible bus. Chicago Illinois USA. July 1985.

I took this photo on a hot summer day, in July of 1985. Seen here at the south terminal for the CTA Route # 52 Kedzie / California Avenue bus line located at west 63rd Place and South kedzie Avenue, is an elderly mid 1960's vintage Flxible transit bus in it's last year of operation. The fleet of these 1960's era buses would be retired in 1986. Some would become Maintenance Work Service Buses. These buses were a common site throughout Chicago during the 1960's and 70's.
