A Pacific Electric Red Car passing the University of Southern California in 1953
I do enjoy coming across a new photo of a Pacific Electric Red Car – especially when it’s in color. What a bold splash of red they must have made against a gritty urban landscape. This was taken in 1953 when a Red Car was passing USC (University of Southern California) southwest of downtown Los Angeles.
