American
Freedom Train Chamber of Commerce Bicentennial Program
An early information
kit for cities interested in hosting the AFT.
The kit contained
some seldom-seen artwork from Barry Howard's design team. It also
contained a 45RPM record of Here Comes the Freedom Train with
Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner.
The kit layed
out the budget for the train and the $50,000 cost to bring the train
to town.
The planned
configuration of the train was much diffeerent from what ended up
on the road two years later.
