By the way, the front logo (and make?) of these buses was only GM until 1968. The side roof signals seem to have the 1963+ bullet shape, but the ad banner prevents to see if this bus has a (brand new for the movie) 1968+ third clearance light at center on the roof side. 1963-67 GM model or 1968 GMC one? This said, the debate about the accurate make is not closed yet

mp775 ◊ 2015-10-28 21:55	It's a 1965-66 GMC TDH5303 in the colors of either the New York City Transit Authority or Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority. Not a '68 because it has the 1963-67 marker lights, and it does not have police lights, which New York's New Looks had starting in 1968. -- Last edit: 2015-10-28 21:56:16
