[PRCo] Re: PRCo----PCC----Trucks

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

I spray my PCC trucks with Floquil Grime, the same stuff that I weather
everything else with.  I don't think it mattered much what color the trucks
were when delivered they got dirty real fast.  

BTW; I added a couple pix to the SHJ site.

 However, I recall seeing the outer rimms painted possibly cream
 in a black and white photo. This was on an interurban I    believe. Does
anyone
else remember seeing this picture?  I do not like black at all.
