History: Bus build dates 1950 to Feb. 1960; In service dates 1950 to 1970s
The Public Service Coordinate Transport (PSCT of New Jersey) tried out two C49-DM demonstrator motor coaches built in 1958. They were built with Firestone air suspension that gave it the distinct bounce that kept bouncing whenever the bus hit a pothole. They were equipped with END 673 diesel and a manual transmission, and seated 49 passengers. They were numbered M65-M66. Those demonstrator buses fell out of favor from their competition and returned and later became Avenue B & East Broadway buses. PSCT was formed out of the Public Service Railway Co. in the 1920s. PSCT became the Transport of NJ in the early 1970, and then as NJDOT/ NJ Transit.
