This Cincinnati bus terminal, way back in 1943, was indeed a "well-worth-the-visit" spot for the bus enthusiasts of that era...... Wink

Nice comparison between the gold (Scotchlite) striped golden aniversary livery, and the later, red striped bicentennial livery. I like them both!😎
They were IMHO, more attractive than the earlier plain blue and silver livery…
