Boston's Red Line cars in the 1500 and 1600 series (Pullman Standard,
1969-70)  and very similar 1700 series cars (UTDC 1987 - 89) have aluminum
car bodies.    The more recent 1800 cars (Bombardier  1993 -  94) are
stainless steel.

Chicago's 2000 series "L" cars (Pullman Standard circa 1964) had aluminum
car bodies.  Later cars were stainless steel.

Toronto's M1 H1-H6 and T1 cars have aluminum bodies.
