<p>Greetings!
<p> Thanks, Ed! I thought
I remembered some *regular* floor cars but
<br>couldn't be sure.
<p> I do remember waiting downtown
for a 42-Dormont and persuaded my mother
<br>to wait for one of the *old cars* - even though she complained that
she
<br>got her heels stuck in the slats and even though I really preferred
the
<br>most modern cars!
<br> She was certainly good about
it! And she is the one who introduced us
<br>kids to the 87-Ardmore - she grew up in Homewood!
<br> I would imagine that it
was just the older non-rebuilds that had the
<br>slatted floor as well.
