   Yes, Budd in 1960.  Pretty short delivery (by truck), from   
   the plant to the El terminal.   
      
   The Mkt-Fkd line was and is trolley guage, not standard.   
      
   The Budd cars had forced fan ventilation which was totally   
   inadequate in the summer.  The cars were brutal.  For some   
   reason, fresh air via an open window is more comfortable   
   than even high velocity air from fans.  Other sealed-window   
   cars had similar problems.
