The GM New Look bus, also commonly known by the nickname “Fishbowl” (for its six-piece rounded windshield), is a transit bus introduced in 1959 by Truck and Coach Division of General Motors and produced until 1986. More than 44,000 New Look buses were built. Its high production figures and long service career made it an iconic North American transit bus.
In 2004, the TTC embarked on an ambitious rebuilding program of a number of GM Fishbowls. The buses comprised of a number of its own fleet, plus a few models bought off of Montreal, that would have otherwise been retired and sent to the scrapheap. These vehicles were needed to counteract a shortage of buses on the system resulting from an unexpected surge in ridership, and going for seven years without ordering new buses.

This is based on the T6H5307N model that was used for the rebuilds. I may have gotten a detail wrong here and there if any of my reference shots were of older models.
I won’t be doing a generic version of this, specifically, since they only existed in Toronto. I will do some generic New Looks, but they’ll be more based on what the bus looked like when most of the continent stopped using them.
