Fishbowl
Ahh, the small windows above the windows, couldn't recall which bus had those.
Thanks
When that video started and it wasn't George Jones it lost me!
Standee windows are common on many transit buses where people stand up and hold on to bars. It gives them a nice line of sight. I don't know if fishbowls were the first to have them, but they were mentioned in all the literature about the new looks as a selling point feature.
The 01 and 05 Eagles had windows above the windows since the 50's but they were a highway coach and the window opened at the top no one ever knew for sure why GM didn't use the same window frame like the rest was it just another place to leak the way GM did it
It is a GMC Fish Bowl. It has a 6 piece curved windshield, and the tear drop window behind the driver's seat. If it were a Flx, the front windshields would be flat pane glass. Good Luck, TomC
Agree, GM Fishbowl. Most probably in a junkyard. At about 1:00, there's a good inside shot of the front, that shows the destination sign box inside cover, and the rollsign itself missing. Looks like most seats gone. Further in, there's a shot that shows the fleet number over the front passenger entry door. From the type font, my first guess is a retired Los Angeles RTD unit.
