[PRCo] Re: Making sense of the PRC assignments....

[John Swindler]

I was under the impression that 3756 was an individual purchase rather than a museum purchase.  832 was a more traditional museum purchase.  And there is an impression that it was three individuals that saved M1.  I'd like to hear the 'real' story.  1138 is another car whose acquisition might have been dueto one person.  But however they were acquired, we should be thankful they were saved.
