More gems from the Bernie Drouillard Collection. Thanks to John for scaning them.

This one dates to June of 1967, and shows SWA # 339. Looking south on Ouellette Ave., from the corner at Wyandotte St. The still new-ish Dominion/Reitman’s building built in 1965 is visible behind the bus, as is the Vanity Theatre Marquee.

June 1967, Finds SWA # 351 parked in a lot downtown, check it out a Cigarette Billboard!

Another one from June of 1967, shows SWA # 355 at the Wyandotte/Ouellette intersection. Note the Centennial logo painted on the street.

This shot from March, 1975 shows SWA # 752 of the Campbell Line. I am assuming that Campbell became the Dominion line?

  • Does not Windsor have the oldest bus fleet in Canada, they perserve them to carry passengers, until their past trying to restore. How old is the one they did up in SW&A colours a few years ago? Its still in use today, a lot better paint job than todays.
