Presidential Series Martin Van Buren Presidential Car #8 Road #: 1837-1841 With Commemorative Button 40' Standard Box Car, Plug Door, w/o Roofwalk
This 40’ standard box car with plug door and no roofwalk is car #8 of a 44-car series representing each of the presidents of the United States. It bears the portrait of our eighth president, Martin Van Buren. The car comes with a commemorative pin replicated from that era. Van Buren was called the ‘Little Magician’ and the ‘Red Fox of Kinderhook’ because he was a wily politician. A political faction headed by Van Buren eventually became the Democratic Party.
