          As a teenager I rode these on "Salt Lake City Lines" these were the last new busses purchased before City Lines became Utah Transit Authority (UTA). I built a metal kit from "Pirate Models" of one of these Fish Bowl buses and painted and decaled it in the then current UTA scheme applied to these buses. I had two friends in Salt Lake Astronomical Society who were UTA drivers. I also have two large scale "Corgi" model/toys of the GM New look bus, one is in DC Transit colors the other CTA. Just placed my order for several of these models. Working lights on a model this small amazing. Of course I had to order the Toronto Rapido paint scheme on one of them.                      Nate Goodman.(Nato).
