Austin Princess, Eighth Street and Sixth Avenue

Volkswagen Microbus, Eighth Street and Montgomery Street

1956 GMC TDH-5106, Eastern Parkway and Franklin Avenue

 

Spotted at the West Indian Day Parade this past Labor Day, and apparently part of the MTA's collection because, if I've done my research properly, this was the first New York City bus to have air conditioning. I like the exhaust fans; they remind me of the Eagle 5 from Spaceballs.

1973 Dodge Dart, Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue

Ford Falcon Club Wagon, North 12th Street and Bedford Avenue

 

There's something great about a small forward control van. The Brits had the Austin J4, the Germans the VW Kombi, and even the Russians had their little tadpole van. We had this.
