I guess I asked the question incorrectly. I was wondering if the RI car remained as aDS car into the early fifties without having been rebuilt. Rick Dietrichson ----- Original Message -----

My '56 ORER shows this number to be a stock car." Actually, the last unrebuilt cars left the roster in the early 1960s. I'm on the road and can't check my ORERs; the January 1955 ORER shows 430 cars in the 155000-157499 series. Ben Hom |
