Notes:

Originally delivered in August of 1967, this coach was underwent rehab in the early 80's with the GCRTA. Painted in a promotional paint scheme for the Cleveland Zoo, it usually could be found working the routes going to the zoo.

In need of some minor front end body work, we are planning on fully documenting the paint design so it can be re-applied after the repairs. Although this coach was delivered in the 60's style CTS blue and white livery, this paint scheme is interesting and the coach will be preserved in the current livery.

This is the newest  TDH5303 in our collection. This model was the most popular of all the GM "New Look" coaches with over 6,000 manufactured by GM between 1963 and 1967. Many of this model of coach would see service for 15 years or more and a 25+ year old TDH5303 in service was not uncommon.
