CONNECTICUT
| The only information we have about this state's car is that it was destroyed by fire at a "veterans post" (probably American Legion) in Stratford, CT sometime during the 1950s. I read in an Alabama newspaper that a bride in Connecticut had won the privilege of being married in the wedding dress that came in Connecticut's Merci car. I have not had opportunity to do research in the state to find newspaper accounts of the event. We would welcome any further historical or current information about the box car and the hundreds of gifts it delivered to the state. |
