Mabstoa TDH5301s (ex Surface Transit/ Fifth Ave Coach) were always faves of mine. Classier than that of the NYCTA fleet. Unfortunately "bastardized" by OA to be more inline with later 5303s and the TA fleet.

In 1959-60, pre Mabstoa days, I saw my first TDH5301. Green and yellow. Yellow ring around tire center. Gorgeous buses! A/C ones even better.
