Post war Birmingham buses led the way in the fashion for concealed radiators and the “New Look” front was applied to buses of Crossley, Daimler and Guy manufacture. Other municipal bus concerns liked the look and when ordering specified “Birmingham front” in preference to the old fashioned exposed radiator common up until then. Guy no.560, is seen here on Saltley Viaduct which could boast two tram,three Corporation and one Midland Red routes all at one time.
A painting like this of your favourite vehicle, British or American in acrylics on A3 heavyweight watercolour paper would cost £500.
