Then the road numbers are wrong.  Some of Community's 100-series were
ex-West Penn, with their original numbers.

The paint scheme was a GM standard; all the operator had to do was pick the
colors.

Who did you say was the underlying company that provided PAT 310?

Hi Ed

 

I looked up Community Transit in the December 1976 Motor Coach Age, but
there is only one photo of a Community bus.  It's old look 774, ex Harmony
TDH 3207.  The roster included 101-137 and 622-778 (ex Harmony numbers)  The
paint scheme is ok, but the fleet number is located in lower front center.

 

This would have been a good question for Ollie Miller.


Cheers

John
