GM old look coachPhiladelphia Transportation Company purchased eleven hundred GM diesel buses like this one between 1955 and 1958, the majority purchased after the takeover by National City Lines (a GM-owned company).

A handful of these GM coaches lasted well after the PTC was sold to the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. The 3804 is seen here in 1980 at Frankford Depot.
