The first one out is the Mercury Green and Croydon Cream (with Swamp Holly Orange belt rail!) on 5261-5262. It looks really good! Others to come to celebrate CTA's 75th anniversary.

R36 - CTA Bicentennial color schemes were first used in 1974 on 6000 series painted PCC-type cars.
The Boeing Vertol-built 2400 series cars were the first new CTA cars to use Bicentennial colors in 1976.
The 2600 series Budd/Transit America cars were delivered with the concept "I Will-The Spirit of Chicago"
color scheme beginning in 1981 - 2600 series cars in their original livery would be appropriate...
