CougarTim ◊ 2021-04-17 00:55	Pacific Electric livery: A volatile time in Los Angeles public transit, with buses taking the place of streetcars. Looks like #2789. Pacific Electric buses #2701-2889 were the first TDH-5103s: Zitat Pacific Electric was the very first Customer of new GM product. The company received 125 new TDH-5103 buses between July and September 1950 and ordered 65 more for delivery in 1951 as part of the system modernization which costed $7 million. Buses arrived in the new red and silver 'teardrop' livery and were the first Pacific Electric buses to have two-piece front destination signs. New buses were used to replace electric cars on eight suburban and interurban routes during 1950 and 1951.
