New arrival |
| Description: |
ACW takes ownership of the ex GB&W 600 heaveyweight coach. Crews were saying there isn't another heavyweight that is as nice as this car. All hand carved exotic woods, marble throughout, chandeliars throughout, even in the bathrooms. Said this was a "true heavyweight" weighing in at 200,000 pounds. This car was designed by an oil mogule out West and cut no expenses. |
