  • Notes: The GM New Look bus, also commonly known by the nickname "Fishbowl" (for its six-piece rounded windshield), is a transit bus introduced in 1959 by the Truck and Coach Division of General Motors and produced until 1986. More than 44,484 (41,213 transits and 3,271 suburbans) New Look buses were built over the production lifespan, of which 33,413 were built in the U.S. and 11,071 were built in Canada. Production of the New Look in the U.S. ceased in 1977, when it was replaced by the RTS transit bus. Production continued after this, however, at General Motors Diesel Division in Canada, due to the RTS design being rejected by Canadian transit agencies. Few were produced after 1983 due to the GMDD's introduction of the Classic in that year.
