Earlier, I'd mentioned that the now-classic 4106 (like the earlier 4104) was one of the most versatile buses built by GM (or any other builder, for that matter.

The 4106 was as home in commuter and charter services as it was in long-haul operations.

In this classic 1960s scene, we have a handsome SUBURBAN TRANSIT 4106, with an "EAGLE" just glimpsed in the background, and the rear of an Old Look just ahead of the 4106 (obviously, these buses were all on charters)

Ahhh, those indeed were the days! Wink

This ancient, time-worn relic recalls those halcyon, long-ago days when all a traveler needed to find was a large sign sporting the single word "BUS", along with that ever-iconic "running dog"............ Very Happy

Here's a particularly handsome ad for "SANTA FE TRAILWAYS".

As is obvious, this ad does not date to the 1950s, as stated here (note the prewar ACF depicted).......................
