  Carl & Les:

  Louie Droge has gone over and photographed the car and the number is actually 21546 and not 21543.  Just to keep the record straight.

    The car in the photo is a Pullman Standard product (by
    the shape of the ends) with a 6 foot Superior door.

    24000-22999 are ACF cars, so it's not in that series.

    21000-21749 are P-S cars with Superior doors, so 21543
    is more likely the correct number. These were the
    cars built in 1952 with the Centennial logo applied
    when new.
