That type grill as on #3215 was definitely associated with first-gen Fishbowls. The finer grill was second-gen and later.
Also, on #3215, the two small ads on the rear side, one above each side of the rear wheels. I wonder when, in 1968-69, the one most furthest back disappeared. |

W.B.:
I recall we discussed the rearmost ads awhile ago; I do remember them, but have no clue as to when they disappeared.
I'm taking a guess that, perhaps, it was in the early 1970's?
Virtually no photos of "Tee-Yay" or MaBSTOA buses in the nycsubway.org photo archives show buses displaying these rearmost ads......
On this, I would do no more than guess.......

I had noticed that myself; usually, you will see the large side ad rack "off-center", instead of being centered, as was the case with #1104.......
