Both of these coaches are pre-war, Budd cars built for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Each was delivered fully painted in the "Fleet of Modernism" scheme designed by Raymond Lowey. The rear car, which has larger windows, was part of the "South Wind," Pennsy's all-coach, Chicago-Florida streamliner, that featured a streamlined K-4 Pacific for power. The paint was removed from the cars in the fifties, and thereafter the cars ran in their stainless-steel finish.
