My Dad helped design the Rohr cars in the '70s. He sent me some slides he had of the cars being assembled.

@shonnerdotcom You totally need to scan those in and post those somewhere! That would be so cool to see!

@schuminweb Ok. Is there much interest in Rohr cars?

[schuminweb]

@shonnerdotcom I definitely think so, since the Rohr cars have been the subject of much discussion over the years.
