[PRCo] Re: Arden Progress

[Harold Geissenheimer]

Greetings to all
The PAT gray is really ugly.   Dameron wanted to duplicate the new bus 
paint style
which looked OK on the bus.  But on the PCC, no wa.

Boris..when you say half and half....do you mean like a loaf of bread?
Better what the Portland street car has...one entire side PRC and the other
entire side PAT

Best wishes.   Harold Geissenheimer
