Video of a 1963 GMC bus purchased from Vancouver Island. History --a transit bus, apparently still has the original colours.

UPDATE: July 12. 2009. Just got confirmation of the history of this bus. (Cut-and-paste)

etransit (14 hours ago)

Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta. I can confirm that this bus is ex Edmonton Transit 467, a 1963 GM TDH-5301. During its time in Edmonton, it had three different liveries:
1) red, cream, and silver
2) red and white
3) white with blue and yellow stripes

Whoever picked it up afterwards did some modifications, including new paint, rooftop racks, etc.

For pics, please navigate to the Edmonton section of barp(dot)ca

So there ya go.

GET YOUR INFO RIGHT! Is the bus a 1963 GM TDH-5303? or a 1967 GMDD TDH-5303?

FYI this bus isn't in it's original colors. It is Ex-Edmonton Transit #467, a 1963 GM TDH5301. It's original colors would be orange and cream. There's photos of these ones around on the internet if you're interested.

do you by any chance have any video of the orion buses there?

[MISSISSAUGAWATCH]

@Tcaauwe2002

Hi. By "there" I assume you mean Newfoundland, right?

No, but this video gets a decent amount of traffic so perhaps there's a fellow-Newf who knows what an Orion bus is who'll video it and post it to YouTube.

I own a 1983 GM Fishbowl, former Connecticut Transit.  I love Fishbowls!

[alex2958chaos]

What a bus! The fishbowl stops running 2 years ago here in Edmonton,it's a real shame

[ACLTony]

The classic GMC fishbowls. Coolest transit bus style ever!

St Johns Newfoundland. It is from there. I heard of the story, St Johns Metro sold a bus to someone who just parked it at the side of the road. It got towed back. They had to pay to have it retowed. It had ST Johns Metro colors on it. It has been repainted.Now they do not want to sell them anymore. They should of just took their colors, and logos off first. That is probably the bus.

judging just by the light this is not a '67 it could be a '59-63 with the top marker lights modified to "68- and on or a '68 and on bus with a 59-63 back lift gate added on either way but not a '67 for sure!!!
