Paint

[Edward H. Lybarger]

As to the first paragraph...the colors were coincidental.

As to the second...no to both, to the best of my knowledge.  The ad cars
went on Route 22, where they would be seen by the greatest number of eyes.

I know the LRVs and the last of the PCCs were white with black and yellow
trim. When I visited Pittsburgh for the "Farewell  to PCCs" trip, I noticed
a number of PAT buses painted white with red stripes. Was this white and red
some sort of tribute to Pittsburgh Railway's red and white paint scheme?

 Pittsburgh Railways' motor buses orange, right? Did the Railways ever paint
their motor buses in advertising schemes as the cars were? Was an interurban
ever painted as an advertising car during the Pittsburgh Railways era? Ken
