My report on the coach imaged below will be rather nebulous only because I have been unable to gather much information except to say that it is a mid to late thirties 25 passenger ACF Model H-17-S and that it is said to be preserved at the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Seen on location in Boston on the set of Universal Studio's 1978 production of 'The Brinks Job' starring Peter Falk, it carries the flag of the Boston Elevated Railway Company fleet # 805 which could be legitimate and it is signed for Scollay Square - a one time entertainment district in downtown Beantown.

The Film, a comedy/drama played for both suspense and laughter which also starred Peter Boyle and Gena Rowlands, was actually inspired by the real life Boston Brinks robbery which, at the time of the movie's release, was the only successful such incursion of a Brinks office in its history.
