Rich/Bob -
According to Tom Madden's Pullman Project, Palm City was a plan 3975C, built
1/16/29, reconfigured to a 3975H, and wrecked on the NP on 1/14/47 at
Perham, MN.   As there are no further entries, that indicates that the car
was wrecked beyond repair.

Palm Grove, Palm Lane, and Palm Villa were built at the same time and then
sold to PRR on 12/31/48 during the divestiture.   Except for Palm Lane,
which was sold to Strates Shows, a circus, on 8/23/56.
