Lionel P/W # 2553 Canadian Pacific Separate Sale Car - HARD TO FIND!

Description

Lionel Postwar # 2553 Canadian Pacific Blair Manor Separate Sale Aluminum Streamliner passenger car. This car was only available for separate sale and was never included in any catalogued (or uncatalogued) set. Made in low numbers. This one is in good form, lights and couplers work. No issues in the aluminum, i.e., no dings or dents. NO BOX, sorry. Please see all photos are they are key to the description.
Some items to highlight: one area on one side has what appears to be tape residue, I didn't attempt to clean this up. One of the Canadian Pacific strips is coming loose at one end, and I did not re glue it.
