Unit 7118--GMC T6H 5305 (1970)--taken Oct. 31/97 about one month before this great old bus was sold, after my unsuccessful attempts to persuade the Transit Department to preserve it. This was the first "new look" purchased by the City of Red Deer, and had been in retirement for about 5 years when a vehicle shortage saw it return to revenue service, although on a limited basis.( It was also the first bus I drove when I began training at RDT.) I'm still kicking myself for not buying this one myself!
Unit 7116--GMC . . . and that's all I know about this one. I remember riding them to school as a kid, but they were long gone by the time I started at RDT.
CORRECTION:
Hi Bernie!
I got a model number for the bus I sent you that is on pg. 12 of your visitors gallery. Old Look 7116 is a 1958 TDH-3502 s/n 0058. A correction to the model year also for the New Look 7118 - it's a 1970 (s/n C524) not a '69 as i first stated.
