The Santa Cruz Metro Transit District had a fleet of 20 GM T6H-4523 “New Look” buses built from 1972 to 1977. In 1976 it acquired 6 new T6H-4523N‘s, including bus #842.
The Santa Cruz MTD preserved # 842 as a historical bus, keeping it until 2010.
In 2010 Santa Cruz MTD donated # 842 to the Pacific Bus Museum along with a spare a spare VH transmission.
Drivers loved these New Look buses because the windshields were much bigger and allowed for better peripheral vision and situational awareness. These were quickly nicknamed the “Fishbowl”.
