I was travelling on a ex-Red Deer fishbowl in Regina on route 9 passing by a fire staion on the corner of Arcola and Victoria when I noticed a yellow with grey silversides 35ft fishbowl outside the station. I got off to take pictures of it and the firemen were nice to move it out for me as well. The bus is ex-Regina Transit #468 a TDH-4519 built in 1966! To my surprise another New Look was inside the fire hall! This unit was a mobile command centre for the fire fighters. It was ex-Regina Transit #335 a 1962 TDH-5301! Both New Looks were in great shape too.

GM plans Caprice police car to rival Ford

http://autos.canada.com/news/story.html?id=2071286

Looks like the Caprice will make its return 15 years later!

The Crown Vic is still a much tougher car based on its Frame-On body structure, a uni-body police car won't last as long, same goes for mostly all Impala's.

Heh! And just yesterday I was going through my images of those two buses and was going to post them in a seperate thread, but here they are here instead! There is also a third Ex-Regina Fishbowl set up like an Ambulance. Last time I saw her was in 2002 at the STC garage.

P.S., There are some even better images of both of these buses on the www.barp.ca website as well.
