  NWL - I agree.  If the word "beer" was in the text line Bing censored the entire line.  I don't have any pictures of the censored Pabst or Budweiser cars but when you find them what you will see 

Pabst Car

Bing_Car_Reefer_Pabst

for the Pabst car the line "The Beer of Quality" is blanked out

Budweiser Car

Bing_Car_Reefer_Budweiser

and for the Budweiser car the line "King of all bottled beers" is blanked out.

   My guess is from a production standpoint it was probably easier to cross out an entire line than try to line up a censor print to target a single word.
