Why is it listed as 1949 GMC TDH? GWTC #521 was a 1955 CC&F CD-52TC which this clearly is.

Why not listed as CCF then?

Well, if they're the same thing, maybe we could standardize the naming ? And not to "Can Car", as until they exited bus production, their buses had full "Canadian Car" badges, or "Canadian Car-Brill" for the older ones.

Edit : maybe that's the better solution ? "Canadian Car" for their "newer look" TD buses and "Canadian Car-Brill" for these older ones ?
