CAR 948:
Car 948 is ostensibly the subject of these two Roy Gabriel slides taken September 1, 1964. In the first one, 948 enters Canal from
Carondelet. In the second, the car waits to turn onto St. Charles. The real context of these two slides is to show the recently completed
conversion of the Canal streetcar line to buses. Public Service was quick in removing trackage and paving over the neutral ground
for the new busway. Here it is three months later, and it is already finished and getting broken in with tire treads and fluid drips.
Two of the three buses in these slides were purchased specifically to convert Canal; they would be Flxible 172 and GMC 199.
We can also see GMC 29 from the first purchase of New Looks in 1960. Four photos added 04/26/12.

probably on a Tulane layover next to Palmer Park. The streetcar has NOPSI's lightning bolt (or swash, if you're not me) logo at the center
of the side. This is probably a recent addition because cars did not previously carry Public Service logos.
