I've always been told that if you surf the net hard enough and long enough you'll eventually come up with pictures that you never thought could exist.

Well, patience and perseverance certainly paid off because pictured below is a rare shot of the rear of Green Line # 6?0 (it would have to have been 610, 620 or 630 but the middle digit is blocked by the edge of the hatch).

This bus is a 1937 Mack Model 6CT-3S (ser# 1185 or 1195 or 1205) and delivered to the property as part of a thirty five unit order (601 to 635) in March of 1937.

Notice the very prominent factory directional signals which were far brighter and larger then those of early GM 'Old Looks', and the round bulge in the side panel that housed an engine pulley.

Judging by the condition of the coach (for some reason Green Line never really kept the CT's in premo shape) this picture was probably taken during the late forties.

Looks like one of those 'seat of the pants' road side service calls that were so prevalent with the gas jobs back in those days.

Great photo from older and simpler times when they could be fixed at the side of the road.
