Hi Bruce ... I love to see the older streetcars and cable cars. The newer ones are nice but have so little character by comparison. Thursday i was downtown during the morning rush, and quite by surprise a 1940's vintage streetcar came rolling and clacking by. Really put a smile on the faces of the people in the area ;-))
The particular car in the photo was filled with old advertising signs inside, some of which I photographed. When there's time, I'll scan a couple. Thanks for your comments.
