Between
1963 and 1965, the Chicago Ridge plant of North American
Car Company (NACC) produced nearly 750 oftheir first
homegrown RBL, an inside post, or smoothside
car. effectively a transitional design between the Pacific
Car and Foundry offset door cars, and the later, and
more commercially successful, outside post RBLs, this
car featured a centered plug door and was only available
in a single 50 1 interior length. Though
not as numerous as the outside post variations, as lease
cars, they could be found sporting numerous colorful
paint schemes throughout their long lifetimes from the
60s through the early 2000s.
