Two open-style trolley cars, #1717 and GiGi, are in Glendale, California. They were completed and delivered in 2008, and are being used at a shopping and residential center.
They are a similar style to the J.G. Brill open-style cars currently in Lowell, Massachusetts, and Tampa, Florida. The first car, #1717, is 33 feet long and battery-powered, and the unpowered second car, GiGi, is 22 feet long and pulled behind the first car. The grand opening for the “Americana At Brand” project was May 1-2, 2008.

If you read the trolley’s brochure on the manufacturer’s website, it says it was designed by George McGinnis, the last of the Imagineers hired by Walt Disney.
