Re: Paint schemes.  Perhaps Harold Geissenheimer could list his various
paint schemes.  I recall the Psychedelic Trolley, on which a fan club had a
trip in the early 1970's, which I attended with my son.  I have slides of
that trip. Harold didn't have much money to work with so he used paint
imaginatively.  He lives in Bloomfield NJ. I have his address someplace.
Interested?   Bill V.
