PCC 1040 at Fisherman's Wharf l Wayne Worden photo
February 2023
Almost 5,000 of these sleek streetcars were built in North America, plus more in Europa. A group of private US transit company executives, known as the Presidents'Conferencee Committee (PPC) coommissionedthe original designinthe mid-1930s to better compete for riders with the automobile. Muni's Car 1040, delivered in 1952, was the very last one built new.
Here's 1040 40 yers ago, nose-to-tail with Muni PCC 1128, which had been restored to its original St. Louis livery and number (1704) for the first Trolley Festival. A few years earlier, Car 1040 had been repainted into Muni's then-new Landor livery. Soon, it would be restored to the green and cream it wore before and has ever since.
