State of The Art Cars
There was also a similar program for rapid transit called "State of the Art Cars" (SOAC). SOAC was also funded by UMTA and managed by Boeing Vertol. The SOAC cars were built by St. Louis Car Company and made demonstration runs in several cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, and Philadelphia. The Seashore Trolley Museum acquired the cars when the test program ended and they are on display on the museum grounds.
