It is also interesting that,in the late 1960s, the "Tee-Yay" sold several "Ktamdens" tp Jersey City-based "LAFAYETTE & GREENVIKLLE".

Being still quite young for an Old Look, I still think of either "L&G" and NHBL picking up a few of the distinctive 5106 from t he MTA.

These buses still had a number of good years left in them.....................

Had it not been for prohibitions in place against 102" wide buses that were in the books up to 1959 (coincidentally, the year the very first "Jetsons" showed up in "Noo Yawk"), they may well have. After all, the TDH-5105's were prevalent in other cities in this time period . . .

W.B.:

THAT would have been interesting, indeed! Very Happy

Awhile ago, I'd mentioned that I thought odd that the "Tee-Yay"never rostered 4512s, especially that they they were quite popular with many companies across the country, at the time.............

By the time the 35' 4512's came out, FACL, 'Soiface' and the 'Tee-Yay' had already graduated to the 40' 5106's.

Interesting that Green Bus Lines was the only one to order the TDH-4512. They had 15 that came in 1954. They already had TDH-5104 and would not receive the TDH-5106 till March 1959.

Green also had TD-4506, TDH-4507, and TDH-4509.

Bee Line in Nassau County was the only other operator in the NYC area that had the TDH-4512.

MaBSTOA 15:

Thanks for this info; I find this odd, as, from what I've read on the popular 4512s, you MIGHT think that they wopuld hve been "big sellers" in "Noo Yawk".

I've read tht Cleveland once rostered a lare number of 4512s............
