Mid 1960's vintage CTA Flxible bus at West 63rd Place and South Kedzie Avenue terminal loop. Chicago Illinois. July 1985.


One of My all time favorite bus photos I had taken in the city of Chicago Illinois, is this one. I took this photo on a hot summer day in July of 1985. An elderly Chicago Transit Authority mid 1960's era Flxible transit bus is seen here at the CTA bus terminal loop at West 63rd Place and South Kedzie Avenue in Chicago's Marquette Park neighborhood on the southside of town. These buses were in their last full year of service, and were retired in 1986. A small handful of these have made it in to museum preservation. Some became maintenance work service buses after retirement from passenger service.
