New and old at the CTA West 63rd Place bus terminal. Chicago Illinois USA. March 1986.

New and old at the CTA West 63rd Place bus terminal. March 1986.

One of My all time favorite bus photographs I had taken, was this one at South Kedzie Avenue and west 63rd Place, in Chicago's Marquette Park neighborhood. In the foreground, we see a soon to be retired 1960's era Chicago Transit Authority Flxible transit bus with a Fishbowl windshield. In the background, we see two "New" CTA 1985 M.A.N transit buses from the nation now formerly known as West Germany. 1986 was the very last year that the CTA operated the 1960's vintage Flxible buses. This one could very well be performing it's last run.
