[PRCo] Re: ad car

[Fred Schneider]

I just pulled out the Pittsburgh Railways paint book and it isn't any help ...
tells dates and car colors (when you see something in purple and white, or red
and green you know its an advertising car, but the book fails to disclose what
advertisement.

Another suggestion:  Charlie Dengler took thousands of PRC negatives, all up
close and in your face.  Most of them are in the library at Arden.  I don't
think he did a whole lot in the 1950s and later.  But you may want to talk to
EHL about rummaging through the negative files for ad cars.  Later stuff?  Well,
JOhn Bromley may be your best hope.  I personally have never seen a picture of
it but then, unlike Bromley, I don't get turned on by ad cars.
