I was living in Chicago when they bought these buses for the CTA in 1950. They used propane fuel motors replacing stinky diesel buses, saved money and helped reduce air pollution. As a kid I rode these buses to a host of adventures, and have a soft spot for them.

Wonderful photo of a fine old vehicle. Thank you for the post. Is there more of that old bus?
There is, but not quite so charming, unfortunately.
