PCC Streetcar - Cleveland Transit System, Cleveland, Ohio

The Cleveland Transit System operated PCC Cars from 1946 to 1953. After WWII they wanted more modern cars and procured 75 PCC's, including 25 built for Louisville that would never run there. The Cleveland paint scheme, reminiscent of the Browns football team that debuted the same year as the PCC's, was one of the most intricate to ever appear on a streetcar.
The Presidents Conference Committee streetcar design was first built in 1936. The design was successful and after WWII was licensed for use elsewhere in the world. PCC cars proved to be a long lasting icon of streetcar design and are still in service in various countries.
