1947-53 ACF-Brill C-44. The bumper should be taken from a CCF-Brill

Filmed in Canada, so likely to be a CCF-Brill.

Good eye Gag :)
This is actually just BC Electric Transit M404/BC Hydro Transit 3404 in disguise, making this an 1957 CCF-Brill Model CD52A

Some of you may have ridden these Brill diesel buses when they were operating in Vancouver from 1957 until 1981. Brill 3404 has been preserved by the Transit Museum Society. It made an appearance on the Netflix TV series The Man in the High Castle (Season 1, Episode 7) back in November, 2015.

I just read maxp's comment and, knowing that the show was filmed in Canada, thought that a CCF-Brill was more likely than an ACF-Brill with a replacement bumper from a CCF-Brill.
