Greetings.

I left Pittsburgh in March 1976.  PTM should have a list
of special paint jobs.

In PRC days, Charles Dengler photographed all of
the special paint jobs on cars used on 22 Crosstown.
Charles was a US Mail Man on the North side
and saw these cars every day.  He had a large photo
collection.  Question to Ed Lybarger: Did this go to
PTM?
