Is this currently on a.b.p.r??       Nice photo!!
.
It was privately acquired but is disintegrating!       No Air-Conditioning.
.
One of the 1601 series Interurbans was also thus converted  --  first it 
became a double-ender with front trolley pole and then converted to 
flat-front!
.
ALL  of the 1700s as well as 1600 and 1630 could be considered to have  
Hair  Conditioners    ----    especially if standing in a crowded 
car!!!!!!!       Only time the fans really bothered me in these cars was 
a Very Hot Summer's day when I was going from Dormont to Grandparents in 
Homewood  --  got a 17 on the 88 and it was quite crowded most of the 
way  --  I was feeling somewhat queasy  (*-at__this__time-*  the 17s 
were My Favorite Cars!!)  and someone on board had a portable radio 
which seemed stuck on a commercial:::::::       """Fifty-Million Times A 
Day  --  At Home - At Work - And On The Way  --  Everyone Loves 
Coca-Cola  --  Everyone Loves Coke!!!"""       is   STILL   going 
through my head!!!!!!!
