Description

A vintage transit bus is shown in front of a large classical station building with arched entrances. The bus is labeled as a Silver Sightseer and appears to be passing through a landscaped area with trees framing the scene. A few cars are parked near the building, adding to the mid-century street view. The card is dated 1960.

Back Text (verbatim):
D. C. TRANSIT 1512 TP82
This car had to be one of the most outstanding PCC
cars in operation anywhere. Originally built by St.
Louis Car Co. in 1945, the car saw several
rebuildings and renumberings. In 1957 the car was
revamped into a special car known as the "Silver
Sightseer" for touring our Nation's Capitol. It even
boasted a lovely hostess to narrate the trip. 1512 is
shown here passing Union Station, Washington, D.C.
August 28, 1960.
