“A Million Miles a Day:” Greyhound reflects on its semicentennial

For the 1964 World’s Fair, participating companies went all out in their efforts to make the best use of such a stage. Ford introduced the Mustang there, Chrysler showed off its Turbine cars there, and Greyhound, the most recognizable name in bus transportation, ran golf cart-sized taxis around the grounds of the fair. Greyhound also capitalized on the fact that the World’s Fair also coincided with the company’s 50th anniversary and thus published this small booklet with a brief history of the company, scanned and uploaded to Flickr (albeit sans a page) by The Pie Shops Collection. For a later look at the company’s history, Carlton Jackson wrote Hounds of the Road: A History of the Greyhound Bus Company in 1984.
