I found this photo just recently on the internet, and thought that it also deserved a place at Eddie's Railfan Page.

Fifth Avenue Coach Lines # 3100, is a preserved 1958 vintage General Motors old look TDH series 40 foot transit bus from New York City. This old look GM bus is a one of a kind model with an experimental air conditioning unit on the rear roof.

To My knowledge, this bus is preserved at The New York City Transit Museum in the burrow of Brooklyn / New York City.

This General Motors transit bus is quiete simular to the NYC bus that the late great Jackie Gleason posed for a publicity photo in with the cast from the 1950's era TV show, "The Honeymooners".
