Air-Electric Cars. Originally
part of order for Pittsburgh
Railways Co, but diverted to
DSR as demonstrator cars
for testing on Woodward
Ave. Cars repainted in DSR
cream with red trim livery
after other PCCs arrived in
1947. Car #100 repainted
and renumbered #141 in
1947, to keep cars with
similar electric motor types
numbered consecutively.

All-Electric Cars. Sporting
the DSR cream with red trim
paint scheme, these cars
included "standee" windows
and were also equipped
with back-up controllers.
They also included a new 30
degree slope in the
windshield design, which
prevented interior light glare
at night. The cars allowed
for 100% PCC operation on
the heavy Woodward line.

All-Electric Cars. These
cars were slightly longer
and wider (8' 8"), seating
four additional passengers.
They replaced the smaller
PCCs on Woodward Ave,
but allowed for 100% PCC
service on the Jefferson,
Michigan and Gratiot lines.
PCC service ended on April
8, 1956 — 183 of the DSR's
186 PCC cars were sold to
México City in 1956.
