GMC’s articulated 60-foot transit coach was a short-lived transitional model developed from the New Look family. It appeared in 1982 as a government demonstration vehicle in Ontario and then entered limited series production, with the run continuing into 1983. The design used the familiar New Look body theme but added an articulated center section to create a high-capacity city bus for heavy transit service. Built in relatively small numbers, it represented General Motors’ effort to expand the New Look platform into the articulated-bus market before later GM transit designs moved on to other architectures. The model is remembered mainly as an uncommon bridge between the classic GM New Look era and the next generation of North American transit buses.
