One last comment on Co-Op 39, and then I'll drop it. Seashore plans to
restore the car to its original condition and appearance as delivered from
Cinn in 1924 (as close as possible). That means a deep red color and Wheeling
Traction logo which was the WP logo with Wheeling Traction System around the
outside circle. The car number was originally 639 and Co-Op dropped the "6"
when they renumbered the cars.
39 sat for 25 years at Seashore before they started on it. Trucks came from
Boston, seats from Chicago I think, and they are making a lot of parts using
the originals as patterns.
