This MAN Americana made an appearance in May 1987 at Bee Line in Yonkers. It left the property shortly after I arrived. Not sure if it ever saw service.

Cool. I never knew they had considered the Americana. Anyways, I'm glad that next order were those awesome Flxible Metros.

If they had good luck with the artrics -why not?

Apparently the luck they had with the artics (which were mostly AMGenerals) didn't carry over to the Americana. Not many were built and few properties had them. Chicago had a sizable order.
The remark in my post referred to the demo shown; I wasn't sure if it saw service in Westchester, and if it did do a run, it wasn't for very long. Luck with the artics not withstanding.
