Again this is NOT I repeat NOT an New Flyer D 60, the D60 didn't exist in 1983. This an MAN bus!

I don't know where you got that comment from CPTDB, but we have no buses under the make "MAN-AMG". So it probably wasn't renamed because your ID made no sense. I did find some MAN SG 220 articulated buses that seem to match.

That's how CPTDB list the SG 220's in the roster section (AM General helped assembled them for the SG's first 2 years, while IMCDB just has them listed as "MANS" for all SG American buses)

In 1976, two solicitations (one from Seattle and another from a consortium of cities) awarded AM General two contracts for 398 articulated buses in total. AM General, the only manufacturer to submit a bid, had partnered with MAN to produce the buses. They were built in West Germany and assembled in the United States from 1978 to 1979.

I figured it would've been pretty clear I was referring to the SG 220, I don't see the confusion here :??:
