Being that NYC kept all of their Stainless Steel Budd cars unpainted (they did
not even paint over the stainless steel fluting of their ex-C&O twin-unit
diners), I doubt they would have changed the exterior of the car they leased.
My guess is that they did not lease a car per se, but rather the equivalent of
one car. Because only one extra sleeper was needed to protect the schedule, one
of the eastern railroads had to buy one, and, I guess it was the PRR.
