PC: Re: Re: New Haven Business Cars

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Speaking of New Haven..  Anyone know of a link to some online shots of NH
heavyweight baggage cars (4-wheel trucks)?  My chapter has a car that was in
PC MOW Yellow when they got it, that is reputed to be a New Haven car -
unlike the mate that came with it which still has NYC lettering visible.
This car is very rough and if it turns out to be NH could make the
difference between being saved and being allowed to rot into oblivion -
