Wonder where they ended up, especially the "Junior " tram

After their stint at the World's Fair the "ED" trams ended up on the boardwalk in Wildwood, N.J.

They were eventually converted to electric power and lost their distinctive "E" model grilles.

They still run trams on the boardwalk in Wildwood, maybe some little bit of them are left over from the "ED's"?

Yes a 1938 It was included with the MACKS because MACKs plant in ASTORIA built the rear body and final paint and lettering on it.

The ones at Wildwood were unrecognizable as the 39 /49 worlds Fair trams a few years ago. They probably didn't survive Sandy

Here are a few of the others in Cyprus Gardens in 1947
