The citiy of broad shoulders had big plans for the United States Bicentennial year of 1976. To mark 200 years of independence, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) painted their elevated train cars and buses in the colors of freedom: Red, white and blue. Even though the initiative was citywide and the paint scheme uniform, the shades of red, white and blue on the GM Fishbowl buses seemed to vary. As a matter of fact, when the edict went out by the boss to paint the Windy City's mass transit, each local city bus shop used whatever paint they had on hand or went out to purchase their own variations of red, white and blue as they were charged with doing the job themselves.
