WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

LOVE the nostalgia!!!!!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

PSNJ rostered a large number of 4509's, many years back (some were equipped with rear doors)

When this photo was taken, the GWB Bus Terminal was still a number of years into the future; several companies had their own off-street stations near the Bridge on the New York side ("RED & TAN" was one of them)

PSNJ's famed gray paint scheme began to disappear in the early 1960's, when the Old Look transits began being repainted in two-tone green (the Old Look suburbans were repainted blue and white)

The latest photo I've seen showing a PS Old Look in the old gray paint was taken in 1966, which would pretty well coincide with what I remember as kid.

Thanks for posting this truly magnificent old photo!!Very Happy
