This is Grag's Post from the link down line titled " Bus Pictures".
Since it had so much attention I thought a lot of you might miss it.;

Thanks, Charlene-- I also found that site, but I am still looking for a picture of a Mack Fishbowl!

This brings up a question that has been rattling around in my head. I have a 1974 Flxible New Look transit (similar to one pictured above). Someone said once when looking at my bus in person, 'They used to call those Fishbowls.' I didn't counter the statement.
However, I have only heard of the GM New Look transits referred to as Fishbowls. Despite a similar look btwn the GM and the Flx, were the Flxis ever called Fishbowls?
Note: Most notable difference is GMs have the rounded windshield whereas the Flx is all flat glass.

Scott -
For all the time I was in the bus industry, I never heard your model Flx referred to as a Fishbowl, only as a "New Look".

It was my impression that the term "fishbowl" comes from the design of the windshield, which resembles an old fashioned geometric goldfish bowl. I didn't think brand mattered, but I apologize if I am wrong (Sorry, Scott).
