The Gillig Trolley Replica is a Gillig Low Floor that is modified to resemble a historical streetcar. It is a collaboration with Cable Car Classics. Some features include faux wood trim and decals, cosmetic cupola, and brass bell. Inside, the interior may feature solid oak bench seating, faux wood accents, and brass stanchions. Some operators have chosen to specify modern seating. Initially offered in 29 or 35 feet, a 40 foot version debuted in early 2011 with NFTA.
