Liverpool Corporation No. 293 is a streamlined version of the double deck design. Built in 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II and known in Liverpool as a "Baby Grand" (to differentiate this type from the larger double truck versions, which were termed, simple "Liners"). It has leather transverse seats on both the upper and lower decks; its single four wheel truck is equipped with electric brakes. No. 293 had the dubious distinction of making the last trips over Liverpool's few remaining rail lines before their conversion to bus in 1957. Still in its last trip special paint scheme, it was shipped on the S.S. American Packer and presented to Seashore by British Consul General Robert H.K. Marrett at Kennebunkport's 1958 Memorial Day Parade.
