1937 Yellow Coach Series 743 bus


Obviously as used by Greyhound which bought 1,256 of them which were used into the 1960s. This must be a preserved example as the road number is 1937 and the destination is shown as 'America'.

Wellington's race trains to Trentham in that era were hauled by electric locomotives but in Auckland it was by steam.  Ja 1278 was captured on 15 May 1965 by the late Jack Creber. For lots more, see our books.
