Hey, it's 2020 and we still don't have a mostly accurate model of this car ... come on somebody! (make my day!)
A bunch of roads had em (DTI, WP, PC, CONRAIL, UP, N&W, maybe more) - in pool service, they went all over.

The above model is by Exact Rail (released some years ago) :

Introduced in 1973, the Greenville 7100 Auto Parts Boxcar was built for auto parts service. Railroads contributed freight cars as a part of equipment pools, and these pools served the automobile manufacturing and supply facilities of automobile makers. The equipment pools were constituted in such a way that, once in a pool, one paint scheme was as likely to be seen as another, and some cars were hardly ever seen on home rails. For the majority of its service life, the Greenville 7100 Auto Parts Boxcars were assigned to the Ford Motor Plant in Lima, Ohio—as designated by the pool number 322. The Greenville 7100 Auto Part Boxcars were then distributed across service routes to facilities across the country that used components associated with these facilities.Maybe Exact Rail will do em? (I doubt it) How about Bluford? Atlas? Somebody?
