GM built 252 TGH-3101 “Old Look” buses in 1950-1952, including bus #2 delivered to Old Pueblo Transit (Tucson AZ) as #121.
In the early 1960s, # 2 was acquired by the private Santa Cruz Transit Company. Santa Cruz Transit ended up using this bus as a storage shed in nearby Capitola, CA. That’s where the public Santa Cruz Metro Transit District found #2 about 10 years ago.
The Santa Cruz MTD began a complete ground-up restoration of the bus shortly after they acquired it.
By January 2010, Santa Cruz MTD had completed about 90% of the restoration. It was then that they donated it to the Pacific Bus Museum along with a spare gasoline powertrain as well as a number of spare body parts.
The evolution of the private Santa Cruz Transit Company transitioning to the public-owned Santa Cruz Metro Transit District mirrored the transition of public transportation nationwide.
