We are lucky that the Toronto Transportation Commission had the foresight to preserve its first bus. Today TTC 1 resides at the Canada Science & Technology Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, but the first picture is a typical record shot taken when the bus was new. I had the good luck to catch number 1 in storage at Wychwood carhouse after its retirement (and have my camera with me, too). Note that the upper deck panels were repainted from maroon to white sometime during its career.
