This restoration was undertaken through funding under the "Enhancements" provisions of the Federal Transportation "TEA-21" Act. The grant is administered by NJDOT as an agent for Federal Highways Administration. Friends is the recipient of the grant to rebuild six historic buses in the New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center collection. This is the third in the series of vehicles rehabilitate. See #P-700 and Z-546 for other examples of the restoration effort. |
