As soon as it poened in 1912, Muni began expanding, buying 125 new streetcars in 1914 from the Jewett Car Co. of Ohio, including two that survive: Car 130, painted in 1940s blue and yellow livery, and this one, painted in its the green and cream "Wings" livery it wore at its 1958 retirement. Car 162 was purchased by Market Street Railway and returned to Muni 20 years ago.
Car 162 was changed from its original gray and red livery into blue and gold around 1940, then painted into the late 1940s. here it is on the J-Church line at Market and Geary in 1952, sharing the scene with two vehicles built by St. Louis Car Co.: a double-ended "Torpedo" PCC and an 8-Market trolley coach. The 8-line buses were replaced by F-line streetcars in 1995.
