1987 was the first time we saw car signage that referred to "Culver", at least in the R30-R38 B division cars. Prior to this they only mentioned their trunk lines (Ave Of Americas Local, Broadway Exp, etc). This was when we began seeing more info (Queens Blvd/6th Ave/Culver, Inwood/8th Ave/Fulton St, etc.)

After 1954 the BoT still used Culver to refer to the shuttle. It only ever completely disappeared for about 10-12 years, when the shuttle was discontinued. I recall the old signage at Stillwell that had the Culver name covered over with "IND 6th Ave" in the mezzanine. It's ironic that most now assign the name to the entire line, including the IND part.
