Windsor streetcar 351 was operated by the Windsor, Ontario, streetcar system until 1930, when Windsor retired its streetcars in favour of diesel buses.[1] Windsor sold off its streetcars, with 351 being sold for $100.

In 2017 a team of local railfans reacquired the vehicle, planning to restore it to its original appearance.[1] In 2019 Windsor City Council announced plans to make the restored vehicle the centerpiece of riverfront museum.
