[PRCo] Re: That damn PCC car on eBay

[Charles Brown]

Had to cut my Texas vacation short.  I developed a strange burning
sensation in my ears.

The comments by Ken and Fred about painting the ebay PCC into half
Cleveland and half TTC colors remind me of the Travel Town collection in
LA which did just that.  They have Metropolitan Coach Lines Blimp #1543
which was the only PE car to be painted in the MCL two tone paint
scheme.  Well, Travel Town decided to do an "interpretive" paint scheme
and repainted the car into half PE and half MCL.  Except that they used
the wrong shades of colors and did a lousy job so that it no longer
looks like a PE or MCL car.  They also repainted a PE wood interurban.
The red paint on this car had turned brown over the years, so, of
course, they gave it a nice fresh coat of brown paint!  Sadly, this car
was acquired by OERM.
