You got a few hours? - Mechanically unreliable. If it made it thru a run, you were lucky - Screeching brakes, the worst I ever heard - Broken doors. Some times, only 3 or 4 door leafs actually opened - Speed, as in lack of. They were a rolling delay - Filth. None got exterior paintjobs after the late 70's - Floors. Ripped up, usually patched with asphalt - Windows were often rusted open, or shut. If they were open, better not sit down during a fierce rainstorm R16's always had problems, more so than any other car type I can remember. Those that operated them can give more specific information on what the problems were. All I know is that the GE units (6400-6499) were the worst of the bunch (all were gone by 1983). |
