This is a view that greeted many a bus commuter in the city of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I took this interior photo looking foreward from the rear of a 1959 General Motors "Old Look" TDH Series transit coach, origianlly from the Milwaukee Transport Company. This vintage bus, is one of a handfull of Milwaukee City buses preserved at the Midwest Transit Bus Museum. General Motors discontinued this body style on 40 Foot long transit coaches in 1959, as the "New Look" General Motors buses with the Fishbowl Windshield, slanted sliding side windows, and fluted streamlined siding was being introduced at this time.Wednesday, November 28, 2007

The GM old look body styling for some reason or another, was actually continued untill approximately 1966 on some of the small 30 foot transit coaches.
