The 1964 New York World's Fair hosted 37 nations, all 50 U.S. States and dozens of America's leading businesses in 140 hi-tech pavilions. More than 51 million visitors descended on Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York City to witness the world's vision for the future. This Greyhound GM TDH-5301 New Look transit bus shuttled fairgoers to and from the 645 acre World’s Fair.
The GM New Look transit bus (nicknamed "Fishbowl" for its six-piece rounded windshield) was introduced in 1959. Production in the U.S. ended in 1977 when it was replaced by the RTS bus but continued in Canada until 1986. A total of 44,484 New Look buses were produced, of which 33,413 were built in the U.S. and 11,071 were built in Canada. The New Look's high production numbers and long service career made it the iconic North American transit bus.
