This snowy scene from 1974 would indeed make a great photo to lavish the front of a Fishbowl enthusiast's Christmas/holiday card.......... Wink

Slick city streets and sloppy slush mean nothing whatsoever to a formidable Fishbowl (St. Nicholas Avenue, 1983)......

"DON'T FENCE ME IN"!"

A yard full of Fishbowls, on a gray New York winter's day in 1980, surrounded by the gritty, grimy leftovers of the last snow.......

"WINTERTIME IN BROOKLYN, 1955"

MACK #5547, holding down a B-2 run, is obviously not the least bit intimidated by a little snow.......

Another nostalgic 1955 scene from wintertime Brooklyn (those formidable GMC's look MORE than ready to tackle anything that Ol' Man Winter might hurl their way!).........

In a classic Christmas card-setting, we see Old Look #7195 going about its usual chores as local residents dig out from what obviously a decent-sized snowfall (Murdock & 209th, 1961).......

This looks like the photo could have been setup by GM. In addition to the GM Coach, there is a Chevrolet pick up (1956?) right next to the bus as well as a '53 Chevy across from the old look and a '57 Chevy behind the bus.
A great photo!

Right you are.....good call! Wink

Seeing such classic "street scenes" at this really take me back to the early 1960's, when yours truly was just starting grade school (man, it's all so long ago, now!)

I can still hear the cheery, musical sounds of tire chains as the Old Looks, MACKS, and WHITES on the old NHBL's #'s 1 and 5 routes, rumbling past our old apartment house in Union City, many decades ago!

The Fishbowls certainly could (and did!) "slug it out" through all but the worst snowstorms; they were TANKS in every sense of the word!

Man, I miss those days....... Rolling Eyes

"NYO"

Here's a REAL "ol' tyme" snowy street scene (in glorious black and white!)

This nostalgic Christmas-y street scene seems to date from a time when bubble lights were all the rage for decorating your Christmas tree, and when television was still pretty much a novelty........
