Reply to "Anyone know a source of 1:48 or 1:50 1950s buses?"

General Motors made their Old Look transit and suburban buses from 1941 to 1959 when they introduced the Fishbowl. Up to 1942 they were the Yellow Coach Division after 1942 they became GMC. Through WWII the windows were spaced evenly with square corners. after the war the windows were in pairs and curved corners  The 35 passenger old look with square windows was continued until 1968.

 

FYI John D Hertz founded the Yellow Cab Co in Chicago. He later started the Yellow Manufacturing Co to Manufacture Taxi Cabs  Then he created the Hertz Rent A Car Co.

General Moters  gained control of Yellow Manufacturing Co in 1925 and  Continued producing buses and started making trucks for GMC. .
