The photos come fromANM historical archive and from the collection of the archival and iconographic section of the Committee for the Naples Transport Museum, which made the initiative possible.
The two cars have been restored thanks to the meticulous work of expert workers of ANM and the collaboration of the Committee and have brought to light the characteristic color biverde of the means adopted in the 60s and the wooden structure of the interior.
