But I have to say, my favorite bus was the old GMC "Old Look" buses, that I rode as a youth (produced 1940-1969, through its replacement was in production at GM by 1959):

Wikipedia says the Old look GMC was of the same width as the "New Look", but I remember riding in both, the old look was less wide, but at least a foot if not 18 inches.
