The R38 is a New York City Subway car class built in 1966–1967 for the New York City Transit Authority to run on routes previously operated by the IND and BMT. A total of 200 R38 cars were ordered. The cars were arranged in what are known as "married pairs" of two cars semi-permanently coupled together by a linkbar. Like the R32 before them, the R38 had body siding made of stainless steel. The R38 was the first to have air conditioning. The last 10 cars (4140–4149) were delivered with original prototype Air Conditioning in July 1967. From this point, the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) began adopting air conditioning as standard equipment on new cars. The R38s were similar to the R32s, but had several differences, including a New York City Transit Authority seal on the cab ends, being half-fluted (up to the side windows) instead of fully fluted, and different interior design and number plates.
