Inactive by user's request   Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | The trolley bus pictured in the Columbus, Ohio postcard is a 1948 Marmon-Herrington Model TC 48 with General Electric motors and controls. It was replaced by diesel buses on May 30th, 1965. Some of the coaches from this order were re-sold to Dayton, Ohio for continued use or for spare parts. The ones used by Dayton remained in service into the 1970s and '80s, but were replaced by new trolley buses rather than diesel coaches!  K. | ||

Inactive by user's request Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | You're welcome, Sven Not cards, but private photographs. A woman from Washington, DC decided to photo document Pittsburgh's tram system as it was facing a phase out during the 1960s. Thirty six of forty lines and 300 of 400 cars were removed from service between April, 1964 and November, 1971. Four lines still run, having been modernized. The last of the old trams were retired in 1999. Now they run modern light rail cars. But they are talking about expanding the system again! The woman was also a nationally known license plate collector. She was somewhat partial to Chryslers since that's what her father drove. K. | ||

What do you base your pick on? The only visible part of the green car is the greenhouse and a little tiny piece of a tailfin on the right side. It might be a 1959 Studebaker Lark or Hawk for all we can say. Pittsburgh wasn't exactly swarming with Austin or Morris imports in the early 60s. It is 100% one of these,check the front and rear 1/4 vent windows,slight rear roof overhang and fins.

Expert Posts: 2309 Location: The Bat Cave, Fairborn, OH | It is 100% one of these,check the front and rear 1/4 vent windows,slight rear roof overhang and fins. Yes I have to admit that you make a strong case for that. Comparing what I can see in the photograph with your examples it does look like a close match. That must have been a pretty rare bird even in those days as I've not seen another one like it on these shores. I wonder who was heavy into pain in those days that they would actually want an Austin or a Morris? Maybe there was a granola crunching liberal professor from Pitt University (with the tweed jacket w/leather elbow patches) who thought Morrises were the politically correct car for the Swinging 60s. I wonder if he thought the same way once he met Lucas, Prince of Darkness... | ||

That car museum is no longer there, as far as I know... RA in NY. Roger,you should go and have a look and see if the car museum is still there in Ausable Chasm and find out if some of the cars in the parking lot made it inside,also in the Endicott one are The Frederick Executive Suites still quite as "Executive" as in the '50s,somehow in my mind I have an idea how they've ended up in modern day USA...
