AC Transit and Golden Gate Transit both have GMC's from the mid-1950's (sorry,
no model numbers..).  Golden Gate's is an old Greyhound, painted in Greyhound
colors from when Greyhound ran the transit service in Marin and Sonoma
Counties.

A few years ago I remember seeing a bus painted in the old Key System colors
at AC's yard near Coliseum BART.
