Was at the beer distributor in the 70s/80s and have photos available.  It was (I think) an Osgood Bradley car.  An experimental.

A few months ago, there was  discussion on this list about the old
trolley used as a commerical building along Pa. Rt. 8, a short distance
north and upgrade of the traffic light in Allison Park.  I had been in
this building in 1961 when it was more obviously a trolley conversion,
but in recent years the building seems to have been expanded and looks
more like a "building".  It was - and may still be - a beer distributor.

Page 14 in Tom Parkinson's booklet, "The Street Railways of Pittsburgh,
1859-1967," states that, "(PRC car) 6000 survived to become a roadside
cafe near Allison Park, Pa."  Is this the same structure that is now the
beer distributorship?
