Mike Smith built this bus from a Pirate Models GMC "New Look" transit bus white metal kit. Rochester, New York's Regional Transit Service painted up a bus to celebrate the United States Bicentennial in 1976. Mike painted this one from a vague memory of what it looked like, the last time he saw it he was 5 years old! Mike modified it with a steerable front axle from Roco. Mike "stole" the wheels off one of his Athearn Ford C cabs and the decals came from his parts box. The paint is from spray cans.
