St. Pete Museum of History (St. Petersburg, FL) claims to have a "vintage trolley." Scroll down to last paragraph.

This organization doesn't appear on Frank Hicks' Preserved Electric Cars site.

Interesting find! I've never heard of this car before, but a couple of Internet searches revealed other references suggesting that the car was built in 1913. I'm trying to do some digging and will post anything I find here. I'd guess there are probably at least 10 or 20 streetcars preserved and displayed in local or private history museums around the country that are not yet listed on the PNAERC site... keeps things interesting!

Some visitors to the neighboring Tampa Electric Company trolley line report that they have a St. Petersburg line car. Could this be the same car?
