Now you're talkin' my era!  That was my favorite car. I remember a 
couple buddies and I taking the trolley home from a Pirate game late 
one evening. We got the Mod Desire car. The motorman gave us a very
fun ride home on the 42/38. We sat in the rear as the car swayed. He 
opened her up pretty good for us. 
  I also liked the "Park n' Ride" scheme(1707, 1717, 1726). Of the 
1601 rebuilds I liked the 77/54 Flying Fraction as it had the colors
of my high school.
  I never rode on the LRV cars. In fact, I don't even remember seeing 
them. They were around though when I still lived there.
  I agree with Herb that the 1700s were the nicer looking cars. I 
never liked the seating arrangements in the 1601s, but did like the 
fact that the windows opened.
  And I am probably one of the few who liked the gray#2 scheme. 
Particularly the interior colors. Seeing the interior of Red Arrow 14
at PTM reminded me of this, although the blue interior of the PAT cars
was a tad lighter shade I believe. 
  Props to St. Petersburg Trams for getting it right.

Who knew that this car would one day be known as "Mod Desire"? :-)
