| Greyhound was a very visible
presence at the Fair. In addition to a fleet of vehicles, which are
described below, the company's pavilion offered a number of slide shows and
short films. Three different restaurants were available, as well as a chance
to see Miss Greyhound, the company's canine mascot, as she modeled
clothing for dogs. (CD30 Photolab #75) |

| One of the major
transportation systems at the Fair was the well known Greyhound bus, usually
seen transporting riders between distant cities. The exhaust of these diesel
buses wasn't appreciated by passersby, but those inside could ride in air
conditioned comfort. (CD21 Set 111 #1) |

| During the 1939-1940 New
York World's Fair Greyhound had operated a fleet of trams pulled by
motorized tugs. The same concept was used for this Fair's Glide-a-ride
trams, which offered a variety of guided tours across the grounds. (CD19 Set

| This is the unique Greyhound
Escorter, which could be rented by the hour for custom designed trips. The
Escorters were expensive to rent, ranging up to $11 per hour, and were only
used during the 1964 season. (CD18 Set 94 #6) |
