1953 GM TDH-5103 (Cleveland Transit System 400-449 series).

In May 1953 CTS received fifty more TDH-5103 buses to replace streetcars on E. 55th St., they were numbered 400-449 and had split window sashes. As 3500-3630 series, they were delivered in the attractive teardrop livery. This batch remained in service until 1971 and most were sold to other operators for further service. When GM announced the TDH-5105 model, Cleveland acquired 186 of them, the first 75 arrived in January-February 1954 (450-524 series) and the last were acquired in 1957.

Available also in CTS Simplified livery (Ref.238.11a-1) and CTS post'59 blue/white/dark blue livery (Ref.238.11a-2)
