Today’s photo is a recent eBay find. Transit Windsor # 757 headed north on Chrysler Centre on the long gone Drouillard 9 route.
The building to the rear is the long departed Chrysler Human Resources building, located on Chrysler Centre just south of Tecumseh Road.
Two birds with one stone. A lost building, and a lost transit route. The photo was taken in 1987.

Nice shot. I miss the old transit windsor route system from when I gre up in the 80s. Back when the Ojibway 13 (and Drouillard 9) still existed, back when the South Windsor 7 actually traveled through the heart of South Windsor (down Norfolk, Woodland, Roseland). Hard to imagine a bus on those streets now.
i actually saw the Drouillard 9 yesterday running down Devonshire at Wyandotte going to Riverside. weird! i thought it was maybe just the wrong sign up, but no other bus goes down Devonshire...
Dani, maybe it was an out-of-service bus heading somewhere with the wrong destination sign up. The D9 route has been gone for ages. But I'm sure there are still a few older buses on the road with that selection on the roller (thinking 907, 912).
