It’s croissants, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower for Paris; it’s pasta, St. Peter’s and the Coliseum for Rome. For New Orleans, it’s gumbo, the French Quarter and – the streetcar. Immortalized by the American playwright Tennessee Williams in his classic American play, these vintage vehicles with their wooden seats and historical aura long have symbolized the charm and romance that was and is New Orleans.
