Car No 1038 was one of 25 PCC cars (1016 through 1040) built for the San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI) in 1951-1952 by the Saint Louis Car Company. These cars used Westinghouse electrical gear and were the last PCC cars built in the United States. Car 1038 was one of only two cars given this paint scheme, the other being car 1040 which is still operational.
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 places around the world
The Corgi "Vintage Bus Lines" range includes highly detailed bus, trolley and streetcar models. These fully assembled models are crafted using the specifications of the original vehicle. They feature clear view windows with interior seating and historically accurate paint schemes. Corgi models are constructed with precision-made diecast metal and some plastic components.
