Black and white photo of a Detroit Historical Museum display commemorating the end of streetcar service in Detroit. Three models are displayed, the Department of Street Railways number 401 (1951.303.007), nicknamed the "Blue Streak;" a President's Conference Committee-style car number 210 (1951.303.009); and number 3890, an example of a Peter Witt-style car. Above the model are two enlargements of photographs showing streetcars in use in Detroit, as well as a map of streetcar routes with the title, "The End of an Era." "6.4, 114384, 4/1/55, 3," is handwritten on the verso.
