GATX “Black Lease” 1968+ gives modelers of the 1968 and later “ACI label” era something to talk about. These models are GATX (General American Transportation) lease cars that were painted and stenciled in the striking “black lease 1968+” scheme with an 8-68 paint date on the side of the car, which is the subject of a prototype photo of a car taken in 1974! Yes, these cars really lasted in service that long, complete with ACI labels! This GATX black lease scheme represents a car that was in service after 1968, and is suitable for modelers of literally any prototype! We are offering this scheme in three road numbers!
