Washington Capital Transit Co. St.Louis Car Co. PCC (Job 1632; 1303-1333
series)- "as delivered" livery.
Original
livery of the Capital Transit air-electric PCC cars was a standard one-man
car livery introduced by the 1000-series. The colors were close to the
post-war version, but the lower color was an "electric blue"
(turquoise) and gray color had more blue. The St.Louis Car Co. factory
paint job was distinquished by some minor details: the beige "V"
extended to below the headlight and the brown stripe was carried accross
the "V". The anticlimbers and headlight wings were chromium
plated. There was a medium gray border along the bottom edge of the skirting.
The interior colors were two-tone green with cream ceiling.
