The WF cars had those rounded picture windows and door windows which matched their height and level. It fit with the semi-circular, striped WF design. Now picture that design on the other SMEE cars. Except for the R-10's, -12's, and -15's, the windows tended more towards sharp corners and were divided into 3 parts (as opposed to the single, long, picture window, or short picture window and rounded sign). It simply would not flow as well. The only other cars I can think of that would come close would be cars like the R-38, or even the R-40 or -42, which had picture windows but less corrugation to break up the design. |
