You'll notice that the BART trains in these early photos look a lot more sleek and phallic than they did when the system finally opened to the public in 1972. I'm guessing that was an idea from the Don Drapers of the era, who knew that getting bond money wasn't going to be easy. The eventual Twinkie-shaped cars may have been practical, but they weren't as sexy as the ones shown here.
