I think the X29d is a good choice. It's a great late transition era car and though I model 1956, a few of these in new paint would suite me just fine.
A really neat car to do would be the X-23 boxcar. It was a unique boxcar because on most of them the doors slid to the left instead of the right. Though it's much older, many of them hung around in work train service til the 70's. They were wood sided cars with stamped metal diagonal bracing. The Pennsy used the same basic carbody design to construct reefers as well. And, many of them were even converted to cabooses with bay windows and porthole type windows. So, one basic body could yield a multitude of versions of the car.
