These are 1967 TDH 4521's. The serial numbers are classified by the following:

Length: New Looks
40 foot models: 5301-5310
35 foot models: 4516-4523

Length: Old Looks
40 foot models: 4501-4515
35 foot models: 3501-3510

The first production GMC New Looks were introduced in 1959. The first group (5301-5302) looked like this: front of a 5301:

bus #100

The second group (5303-5304) was introduced in 1963, and was GMC's top selling New Look. They featured some minor changes (marker lights, tailgates, engines)

GMC closed their American plant in 1977, with the New Look body being produced in Canada under the Brown Boveri Industries.

The last GMC bus from Canada was a group of 26 1986 5307 'A' for Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines
