Hey Bill:
You are talking about my old work place, Congress changed name from NBS
to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 1988.
Oh well, I have to admit that the standard weight test car wasn't the
most beautiful car, but it was interesting.

Hey Bud! --
I found the car you were thinking about – red on top, blue on the
bottom, white in the middle – it belongs to the National Bureau of
Standards, US Dept. of Commerce. It is a “standard weight test car”,
sheet steel sides and ends with a “people” door on the side near one
end and 3 small, barred windows that make it look like it should be
hauling prisoners. Built in 1960. Ugly...
