Toronto Transit Commission 2900-2984

Toronto Transit Commission 2900-2984 were General Motors TDH-5301 New Look buses built and delivered between December 1959 and October 1960. These buses seated 53 passengers.

Units 2900-2949 were the TTC's first order of the then-new GMC New Look (or "fishbowl") bus design. They were the only ones originally delivered painted solid maroon/red on the upper half, front, rear, and roof, and unpainted silver on the lower half (this as-delivered paint scheme featured no yellow like later deliveries). Yellow was added to this order in later years surrounding the front and rear windows, and along the roof.

The units from subsequent order 2950-2984 were originally delivered painted maroon/red on the upper half, unpainted silver on the lower half, and with yellow surrounding the front and rear windows. They had no yellow paint on the roof (which was added later).
