Hi all...
As work progresses on streetcar 390 (now at least 60 percent done) we are starting to put more and more parts back in the car. Going back in time a bit when 390 was taken out of service in 1946 and later sold a married couple, a Mr and Mrs Anderson bought the car body and used it as a home for 30 years. Sometime during this time one set of window sashes were removed and along with the set of sashes went the latches. We've had a new sash set made but don't have the latches. We only need one pair (1-left,1-right).

Since semi convertibles were one of Brill's most popular designs these should have been a fairly common part they made (made by Brill themselves, not Adams and Westlake) so hopefully they won't be too hard to find. (Brill built over 900 Baltimore design semi's alone which Baltimore and Hampton, Va. used)

If someone has a pair thats not being used or knows where i might find a set please let me know. I can be contacted here or thru the 390 Facebook page or my email (hank_mum@yahoo.com)

Pictures below

Thank you

Call McKinney Avenue Transit Authority at (214) 855-0006 and ask to speak to the Chief Mechanical Officer (I'm not sure who it is at this time, I'm sorry.) I seem to recall that they had a batch of these made for their Brill semi-convertible and might be willing to sell some for a good cause.

Hello...

If your talking about Mata car 122 while it is a Brill semi convertible (single truck) from what i see in the interior pictures those latches are different.
