The latest news from Seashore Trolley Museum concerning the Cinn. Car
Co. curvside car from Wheeling WV . It was brought outside of the
storage barn it was in so interior varnishing could be done in early
Sept. by Jim Schantz , who is the project  sponser and has been working
on this car when funds and time allow , for the past 30 years!  A
picture of it was in the latest STM Dispatch , the museums newsletter ,
showing it setting on its trucks with the body restoration completed
except for window installation on the side widows . These are being
installed by Alyson Milardo . Aluminum castings made from patterns by
John Fatula have been recieved for the signal bell cords and door
operating buttons. Only the interior seats need to be installed  and
some wiring finished up to make this car complete so it seems. That and
a new paint job applied over the present primered body.
