EXHAUSTIVE photo page on vehicles used in the old "HAWAII 5-O" television series; scroll down to see photos of GM buses (Old Looks, Fishbowls, and Flex New Looks)............

Wow, sure a lot of vehicles tagged in Hawaii-Five-O. It seems like all the earlier episodes, the first 5 years or so, had Old Looks in them. I remember seeing the Flxible New Looks but not the GM Fishbowls. I also thought I saw one of those AMC "**** wagons" as Scott Richards calls them. Also, a few "parlor" coaches of various kinds. I'm presently on the seventh season this time around so I'll report on what I see. |

Thought you would find that page interesting! 
The following is from "OLD LOOK BUSES" (Luke/Metler)...........
".......in 1953, 15 TDH-5105s were delivered to Honolulu Raid Transit (HRT)........"
".....the first Old Looks for Honolulu arrived in 1947; these were 50 TDH-4507s........"
".....in 1957, 75 additional 5105s were delivered........."

From: "WELCOME ABOARD THE GM NEW LOOK BUS" (McKane/Squier).......
"......in 1968, Honolulu City & County Department of Transportation ordered a group of "T6M-5305As"; however, these buses were not delivered until 1971......."
",....sixteen of these eventually buses went to Honolulu Scenic Tours..............."

| Ironically, an episode I watched tonight had a GM Fishbowl in it. |

Cyberider:
One interesting aspect about Old Looks operating in Hawaii is that, for a number of years, Hawaii was not even a State.
On a somewhat related note, in my collection, I have three vintage tin litho friction buses (the smaller a boxy "generic", the larger 4104s)
The two 4104s were (originally) "GREYHOUND" and "CONTINENTAL TRAILWAYS" buses, but, it was obvious that a Hawaiian sightseeing bus operator bought these toy buses in bulk, to sell as souveniers, many years ago
All thnree of these vintage toy buses have a strip of stiff laminated paper reading "SIGHTSEEING HAWAII" covering the "GREYHOUND" and "CONTINENTAL TRAILWAYS" lettering.
Needless to say, these vintage toy buses are pretty rare these days......sure glad I have three in my collection!

Now you need little figures of Steve, Danny, Chin, and Kono to go with them.  |
