I wonder why one of the cars does not have the opening for the trucks.Was this set incomplete somehow, or did it get past quality inspection?
Roy, I don't know the answer. And, I hope someone who is familiar with Benson's product can answer the question.
My guess is that the absence of cut-outs was intentional since the cars, w/o cut-outs, still received the Masonite "frame" and clear plastic "windows," and plastic car ends And, of course, were packaged and sold.
Also, at least some prototypes were delivered fully skirted, so perhaps these seemingly incomplete Benson cars were intended to represent those prototypes.
