R10 2952 Posted May 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2009 Was there any distinction whatsoever, be it pre-GOH or post-GOH, between these two car orders? What set apart the 34 ML R-36s from the something-hundred-strong ML R-33? Perhaps floor paneling, or interior lighting? Does anyone know? Also, I know that the ML R-33s made their final run on April 14th, 2003. When did the ML R-36s make their final run(s)? If anyone would know, I would truly be grateful.

LRG Posted May 30, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 30, 2009 Which model had the straight square windows? No the last retired ones had those picture windows that ran on the (7)/<7>. And I think the 26/28/29 had the square windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R26/R28/R29/R33ML/R36ML Redbirds had the square windows. The R33WF/R36WF Redbirds had the picture windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe C Posted May 31, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 31, 2009 The R36s had A/C, the R33s didn't. The topic is on the Main Line cars,not the Worlds fair cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R44 5278 Posted May 31, 2009 Share #12 Posted May 31, 2009 Regarding the window shapes, didn't all the R26s-R30As have the square shapes while all the R33s-R36s have the rounder R32 windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted May 31, 2009 Share #13 Posted May 31, 2009 Regarding the window shapes, didn't all the R26s-R30As have the square shapes while all the R33s-R36s have the rounder R32 windows? Nope. Only the World's Fair cars had those "picture windows." Everything else, which includes most of the R33 order and a select few R36s, had the square windows.

Art Vandelay Posted June 1, 2009 Share #15 Posted June 1, 2009 R29s R33MLs and R36MLs were all identical prior to overhaul. After overhaul, R29s were rebuilt with and ended up identical to the R26-R28 fleets, and the R36MLs were rebuilt with and were similar to the R36WF fleet. The R33MLs were rebuilt as their own fleet.

Maserati7200 Posted June 1, 2009 Share #16 Posted June 1, 2009 A little off topic, but why weren't the R33 ML's rebuilt with air conditioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted June 1, 2009 Share #17 Posted June 1, 2009 A little off topic, but why weren't the R33 ML's rebuilt with air conditioning? They were. You're probably thinking about the WF's. Those weren't because A/C would make the car too heavy. Remember that those were single units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
