Besides now knowing the difference between GM \"Old Look\" and \"New Look\" coaches and what Twins and Flyers are, I put my research on paper. So, here you have it: two prints showing my favourite ETS buses and another three showing a gorgeous Vancouver Fageol Twin ,  a very \"modern\" Winnipeg Flyer, and a Canadian Car from 1958 Montréal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BC Hydro \u0026amp; Power Authority bus (No. 3290) is an amazing example of what I think of as an evolutionary dead end of buses: it has two engines, lots of chrome, and more architectural details than most buildings. This one was running Cambie St. in Vancouver. ETS No. 478 shows a GM \"New Look\" (aka \"Fishbowl\") bus built in 1965 as it would've looked in 1977, and it's the kind of bus I would've spent riding with my Grandma in. Next is a GM \"Old Look\" (No. 410) that shuttled riders between the University Hospital and Downtown in the late 1950s. Then we have a Transcona-built Flyer D800 as shown as it was serving City of Winnipeg Transit Services in 1977 as bus number 419, and last up is a Montréal Transportation Commission Canadian Car (bus number 649) as it would've looked on sue Saint-Denis in 1958.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'd like to give special thanks to David A.
