That is the way I first saw the car and my photo from 1962 or 1963 shows 
the same with doors and window.

The center door opening at the NYC subway site looks like a tarp  --  as 
I mentioned above, my photo shows the same as the URL here with two 
windows and striping like on the front of the vehicle.       PRCo was 
quite thorough in what they did and the car was complete and ready for 
service with the enclosure and windows when I saw and photographed 
it.       This tarp  *-suggests-*  that those new center doors were 
removable // made to open  OR  the doors were removed and replaced with 
the tarp.
