I'm sure they've would have been at least as beloved as the R-32's (especially if they were as successful) or the Almond Joys of SEPTA, but it wouldn't have been as colorful, I think. There would've been much less incentive to do full body paint designs like the '64 World's Fair or redbirds. Also, I think the evolution of the window designs would have been quite different too, since Budd cars seem to tend toward rounded windows (an engineering decision? I recall that rounded corners don't create stress points in the body, which is why passenger windows in aircraft are rounded.). Drop sash windows might've ended with the R-10's or R-12's. |
