It looks like Lordship, CT and Sikorsky Memorial Airport

It looks like it was called Bridgeport Municipal Airport in 1962.

Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_Memorial_Airport

I'm not sure it was ever expanded from some Googles searches and there appears to have been ongoing efforts and legal issues regarding it

I like the one chrome hubcap and one painted hubcap. I can't say I have ever seen that on another bus. it looks like a late '58 bus, so it should have all painted caps.
