The model number was 706 and it was #103 on the Chicago Motor Coach Company roster. It was eventually sold on to a movie company where it became Fifth Avenue Coach #2003, a number that never existed in the New York fleet of 720s and 735s. It survived for many years at the Orange Empire Railway Museum at Perris CA, but was destroyed by an arsonist several years ago.
