Balloon Car number 717 is standing in Pharos Place, near to the lighthouse. It is still carrying the traditional green and cream Blackpool Corporation livery. The tram was built for Blackpool Corporation Transport by English Electric in 1935 and was restored in 2008. The balloon cars were considered very modern trams in their day.
