PCC 100

Greetings!

	This car had the standard exterior PRCo PCC paint scheme of red below
the belt rail all the way around.  This car also came equipped with the
*short* anticlimber.
	It was standard practice to apply the full-width anticlimber to 10s and
11s, especially after accidents, and PCC 100 received such when it was
converted to M11.
	This conversion to Instruction Car apparently took place in 1947.  All
photos I have seen of M11 use the hourglass front dash paint scheme ala
the 17s.
	Did this car debut this hourglass paint scheme in 1947 and thus beat
the 17s to the punch, or was that a later modification of the paint
scheme?
