The PCC Streetcar had evolved from a committee, the Electric Railway Presidents Conference Committee (ERPCC), which met in the summer of 1929 to design a streetcar to compete with rubber-tired vehicles. At that time, the Presidents of various leading street railway concerns saw the “handwriting-on-the-wall” and got together to use genuine American know-how to develop a suitable competing product. Eventually over 5000 PCC cars would be built in the United States and even more overseas. PCC cars are two generic types, the pre-war or air-electric PCC (compressed air operated brakes, doors and windshield wipers) and the post-war or all-electric PCC car (completely devoid of any compressed air system). Our model is the post-war all-electric, modified for the Kansas City Public Service Inc.
