1930's-era Hampton streetcar has come home, but exhibit won't open until donations found

Good bones. Classic style. A heck of a story.

And a five-year, $750,000 restoration ahead of it.

But this week marked a celebratory one for Greg Siegel, community historian and chair of the group – Hampton Streetcar 390 Project – that has worked for four years to bring the only remaining Hampton streetcar back home.

It's not "1930s."  This is a World War I era car.  :closedeyes:  Sloan
