Appreciate the info; thank you! Wink

I had the feeling that METZ was a Pennsylvania company, but was not sure; now I know for certain!

The link you provided for the immigrant "caravan" buses is not "highlighted" that it can be clicked on...... Sad

How about this circa-1970 photo of a MARTZ "Buffalo" (AND, as a bonus, a rooftop billboard illustrating same!) Wink

Here's a handsome GREYHOUND 4103 looking quite imposing, with a fine backdrop of 4104's and Old Looks, on a long-ago day........ Wink

In this old view, we see a work-weary 4103, "somewhere south of the border", along with two happy-looking drivers......OLE! Very Happy

Speaking of computer use...do you happen to know how to post your own photos's and files onto a post on this website?

I see some people know how to do it, but i am not computer savvy to do it, unless the website provides a means...other forums I am on do that...

I looked at the Bus Talk "galleries", and still couldn't figure out how to post photo's.
I do not use things like Instagram. I only directly post my photo's when the forum provides its own means...

I have not the SLIGHTEST idea on how to post personal photos here; or anywhere else, for that matter; I'd sure like to see some of yours, and I'd love to post the bus pictures I took some 50-odd years ago, some taken at the "bus lot" in Hoboken!

To say I am tech and computer illiterate is like saying the Empire State Building has 102 stories!! Wink

Oh, well....... Rolling Eyes

Regarding the photos whose links I posted earlier.....

Any idea where the MARTZ photo (with the "Buffalo") was snapped?

At first I thought MAYBE New York, but then, I was think more Wilkes-Barre.

Them the photo with the GREYHOUND 4103; could this bus been in commuter service by the time that photo was taken (note the Old Looks in the background)

As always, appreciate info...... Wink

I see I was right in my hunch that the MARTZ station was somewhere in MARTZ territory (PA).

Years ago, on the old "Strayhound" site (man, I still mourn the demise of that awesome site!) there was a 1960's photo of San Francisco GREYHOUND commuter buses; I remember being amazed at the variety of buses being used.

There were a few Old Looks, a MACK, and a "Silversides"....talk about a museum fleet! Wink

That MARTZ is still in business never ceases to amaze me; they'd been running buses for over 100 years now! Shocked

Though most of the time, Mom's family took the DL&W out of Hoboken out to PA to visit relatives in the Wilkes-Barre area, Mom remembers, several times, taking a MARTZ bus from Journal Square (pre-1935); she always liked sitting in the jump seat! Wink

At that time, I know that MARTZ rostered several ACF's; this was way back when the company was still operating between New York and Chicago........
