1½ feet - that's almost as wide as my N-scale layout
(or as high as if we flip it)....
Anyway, that's as high as someone's head and neck take together.

As I believe, motor cars can't be as high as trailer cars.
Plus AFAIK metra electric uses old-school 1500 Volts DC, unlike NJT.

That is not the case. As could be seen in the diagram Selkirk posted the wheelchair space for NSW's H set is at the non-cab end adjacent to the door, just like NJT's MLVs:

Some of the SNCF EMUs shown on this thread can run on both 1.5 kV DC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC. Which means, ironically, that NJT could have kept the old DL&W 3 kV DC if they had bought EMUs (or modified the Arrows) or gotten electric locos with such technology adaptations. But since NJT was too bizarre/cheap to even modify the Arrows to switch between 12 kV/25 Hz and 25 kV/60 Hz (that particular decision occurred under the liar and fraud Shirley DeLibero, who was more focused on automated announcements), none of their future decisions will include aught that make sense.
