Sounds like they came to their senses and realized that "streetcars" that don't look like streetcars have little attraction to potential riders. We have a similar situation in Tempe, AZ wit ...

These cars must have been pretty elegant in their early days. Interesting to note that the photo was taken by my friend, the late Ed Davis Sr. He also was the author of "They Moved the Millions ...

The MP-54's were classic and sure stayed on the scene for a long time. Makes me wonder why something so durable ever had to be retired.
