Paisanos, I've finally HIT THE JACKPOT!!! This is Transit Windsor's 1979 GM New Look(a.k.a. GM Fishbowl) bus T6H-5307N operating on the Tunnel Bus route at downtown, Detroit. Please note: This is the ONLY and the very first video and two photos of this bus available in my YouTube video gallery.

Thank You for this post, I will repost on a Detroit Transit History Page on Facebook. I did not know Transit Windsor still had a Fishbowl and this is a real catch! Thank You! RTS is now making a LF Bus again as well as the RTS Legend. Maybe we will see them back on the streets in Detroit.

@streetboyzinc: Sure, go right ahead. Also, this GM Fishbowl is actually the preserved bus; the rest of these Fishbowl buses have been retired including the 1984-85 Orion I buses.

@TheTransitCamera: Thanks!

The colors on that bus almost fit right in for the old D-dot colors! Very nice catch! I didn't realize TW's Fishbowl or older buses for that matter still went south of the border anymore! Very nice catch!

@busrailfan: Thanks, I was VEEEEERY lucky to catch this bus because it was my only opportunity to film it and photo it. Back around February of 2008, I wasn't lucky to record and photo the Fishbowl buses because of extreme frigid conditions--which caused my camcorder not able to function... Btw, D-dot also preserved its GM New Look when D-dot was formely D.S.R..

Now we're down to Woodstock, the last system in Ontario with New Looks.

@Nabinut: True, but however, the only buses you'll see from D-dot is the RTSs and the D40LFs including suburban SMART's Gillig LFs... Also, D-dot has its Fishbowl bus preserved when D-dot was formely D.S.R..

You're almost giving me a reason to visit Detroit...
