Overview

The prototype for the Rapido Trains HO Scale New Look Suburban Bus was the face of North American public and regional transit in the latter half of the 20th century, with almost 45,000 buses built between 1959 and 1986. Everyone remembers the GM New Look, also known as the "Fishbowl" Bus. This time with only front door and high-back seats, these vehicles could be found in express service, intercity service, and even charter operations both in big cities and small towns across the country. Before the big highway coaches of today, the General Motors New Look Suburban was the go-to for many agencies for these operations too. This model represents the second through fourth generations of the New Look Bus, spanning from the mid-1960s right up until the 1980s, and comes with agency-specific details from advertising panels to roof hatches. Deluxe models feature interior lighting; painted seats with painted handrails; working headlights and tail lights and illuminated destination sign. (12V power supply not included.) The GM New Look is a must-have for 1960s to 1990s modelers. Check out the line of Rapido Trains HO Scale vehicles.
