Built by the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company for the New York Central's 20th Century Limited, this car was divided into four distinctive dining sections (seating 64 persons at tables) and featured a lounging ante-room and steward's office. Industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss was commissioned in 1938 to design the streamlined train sets in the Art Deco style.
