Kit 19.2
Chesapeake & Ohio and Pere Marquette 1930 40-foot steel automobile box cars
In 1930, the Pere Marquette ordered 1,500 Automobile/Furniture cars from Pullman Car Manufacturing Company and 500 from the Pressed Steel Car Company.
The cars underwent a series of renumberings over their lives. Most notably, the C&O acquired PM in 1947 and cars were converted over time to the C&O livery. This conversion process was not hurried, as some PM cars were still in their original PM lettering into the 1960s.
