1964 to 1967 GM New Looks 552-621

From 1964 to 1967 Calgary Transit System took 4 order's of TDH-5303's (1964-#552-561, 1965-#562-571, 1966-#572-593 and 1967-#594-621). Most of these buses were retired in the mid 1980's with the exception of 594 which was retired in 1989 as it had been rebuilt in 1982 (as did #602). Interestingly, 594 was the only TDH5303 that was active in the Winter Olympics of 1988 held in the Calgary area. These buses were powered by the Detroit Diesel 6V71N with Allison VH9 transmission. A few of these buses are still around today in private hands.
