Pacific Electric 800 Car  Contributor's Pick!       
This PE 800 Series car is now the bar of the Formosa Cafe on Santa Monica and Formosa. These cars were the first true interurban cars on Huntington's Pacific Electric. The restaurant reports the car dates from 1902, which would make it part of the original order for these cars, but the road number on this one is unknown. Across the street from Samuel Goldwyn Studios (later United Artits, Warner Hollywood and then The Lot) it is a famous Hollywood watering hole. The car once ran on tracks in the street behind it. To add insult to injury, the cab has been covered over with wood paneling.
