Not an easy question for me as I have several.
Paul, the one above was on my list.
So I assume the question only pertains to paint schemes and not slogans.
I’m more attracted to slogan cars which are mostly black, brown or boxcar red.
I’ll pick this one I guess?
Mine would be the original real life Southern Pacific Overnight Express boxcar. I apologize for not having a photo.
Too many to have a favorite, but I'm fond of this series:
Okay... I'll take a shot: You like the GN?
Reckon' I'm the odd man out again. Ever since I was a kid I liked the types of boxcars I saw around KC: Boxcar reds, browns, tuscan... the other loud/bright ones didn't show up much in the "work a day" world around KC I was exposed to.
The boxcar included with my original Lindberg Lines HO set I received as a kid in 1962 had a boxcar red C&NW boxcar in it. In fact, all of the cars in it were "typical"... (including a switch engine) so I loved it that set.
Here's a close facsimile of the Lindberg set of which I refer:
Always have loved this one!
Along with the NYC's Pacemaker boxcars, you can't go wrong with the Rock Island's "Bankruptcy Blue"

Sorry, no picture.
Back in the late 70's I remember walking to school and seeing a yellow RailBox boxcar on the tracks. That was one good looking boxcar. I have the MPC version somewhere.
That SEABOARD just looks great IMO, but if I wasn't modeling SAL I'd be all over the Great Northern, great graphics and great colors.
