This should be relatively simple to solve. Sometime before the wasp and
hornet season gets underway, a couple of people who know what to look
for should pull the tarp from the front of the car, climb under and look
for evidence of the pilot and old style horn mounting holes. Does the
rear window open like a true Pittsburgh PCC interurban? Is there
evidence of the luggage rack (filled holes in the interior?) What about
the car's builder number?

And don't feel bad about not knowing for sure, John. We Yanks may need
your help someday in sorting out all these ex-TTC cars down here.
