Description
This is a Twin Coach model 23R bus, a mainstay of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company fleet used prior to World War II. The durable vehicles were purchased in the late 1930s, replacing streetcars on T, Third, and Tenth Streets in 1939. The new free-wheeling transit had gasoline-powered engines and manual transmissions.
