I own a Fishbowl that used to be a New Haven city bus. Yes, the stainless steel sides WERE that shiny when they were new! Most bus companies spray-painted them with silver paint. But if you strip and polish them, they'll look that way again!
@mackbuses That is now actually owned by the MTA in New York City. It is a museum bus.I commuted with New York bus Service since 1969. He always kept his buses that way. Gorgeous eh>?
Great video! Glad to see this bus got a repaint. It really needed it. Last time I saw it at the Bus Festival, it looked a bit dirty. This bus almost looks like it did when it first ran in service. I still miss the old GM's; even after 2 1/2 years since they were taken out of service by the MTA.
NYBS always kept the buses looking good. I know. I worked for them.
