Greetings!
The photo caption on pg. 111 of *PCC The Car That Fought Back* for the
lower right photo is of a 1000 series PCC car possibly at St. Louis and
this shows the *naughty--leather* seats.
The mohair on 1095 on page 74 of *PCC From Coast to Coast* was
*probably* a modification of Cleveland when it was used there as a demon
. . . pardon, I mean demo!
Cleveland also repainted the outside in a two-tone green of various
patterns that don't match the PCC lines which tended to camouflage the
car on tree-shaded streets! That design was so elaborate that I think
it is safe to assume that Cleveland redid the whole interior. They did,
after all, remove a seat and install a conductor's booth at the center
doors.
