	Forgot to mention that I am not old enough to remember!
	Also, in *PCC From Coast to Coast* on page 163 is an interior photo of
PCC-100 after conversion to M-11.  The interior paint is the same as
that in the photo of 1170 taken by St. Louis car.  No cranks on this car
- they all got off - and no window cranks, either, but you can see that
the tan comes up to the bottom of the advertizing card rack.
	And in *PCC The Car That Fought Back* page 111 bottom right is the
interior of a 10 when new.  Note how similar the paint scheme is to the
other cars from different systems on this and the previous page.  Also,
check the Boston interior paint on page 73 and the striking similarity
to the Philly interior on page 105.
