GM Old Looks
GM TDH 4512 were 35' coaches delivered to Miami Transit Company in 1954. They were numbered 547-571
The MTA 600 series were delivered to Miami Transit Company in 1954 (600-653) and in 1956 (654-679). They had an interesting run here. Some 600s were sold to Coral Gables Municipal Bus Lines, which re-painted (royal blue) and re-numbered them. When the MTA took over the Coral Gables system they were pressed into service in Coral Gables livery, but MTA re-numbered them back to their original fleet numbers.
Some of the 600s were sold to CoTran in Palm Beach county. They put in service using the MTA livery and original MTA fleet numbers.
MTA didn't retire the 600 series until 1977. Even after the AMGenerals took over the 600 designation. CoTran retired theirs in 1979.
Bus 647 is preserved by MDT as a historic coach.
On June 18, 1977 Bob Van Hemert chartered this bus for a tour of Miami. The bus was posed and photographed  in different locations with different and now phased out destination sign settings. Now you can go on this tour too, just click on 613 and off you go.
