GMC 310:
GMC 310 on Kenner Local at the inner terminal, South Claiborne and South Carrollton Aves., on May 29, 1978 in a slide by
John McKane. A shelter stood here for many years, but was removed within five years after this shot. A St. Charles streetcar
is just visible through the shelter. The bus carries a front advertisement for WTIX radio. The second image, with no vehicle behind,
has the initials BK on the slide mount, possibly a Bruce Korusek slide. Two photos added 07/08/13 and 09/07/20.
