I saw renderings in 1962 of the Flushing Line World's Fair cars in the newspapers.They were to be standard redbirds with drop-sash windows. After R-36 production started the first cars were mainline cars in red with drop-sash, and the TA decided in the middle of production to "jazz-up" the Worlds Fair cars at the request of fair officials. The result was the picture window bluebirds. |
