AFAIK, the oldest was the SCRTD 2100 series, which were 1954 (!) TDH-4801s. Rode them many a time on the old 95 (Vermont Av-Vernon Av) in the late 70s. In fact, the very last Old Look I rode was 2167 on a line 871 tripper in the spring of 1981. It really should've been retired by then, but it and other Old Looks were held over due to the Grumman crisis. By the summer of 1981, with the Grummans returning and all 940 GMC RTS-04s delivered, the Old Looks (and many early New Looks) left the RTD fleet for good. Some were sold/leased to SF Muni, as they were having a diesel bus shortage in 1981. |
