West Penn 700s Interior

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Ceiling is ivory; wood is natural (cherry, probably) with varnish.

Greetings!

	Looking at the photos in the West Penn publications by PTM and CERA, it
would appear that the ceiling inside is an ivory.  Does this sound
correct?

	Some of the photos seem to indicate rather dark interior sides (photos
pg.71 of CERA book) and the same on page 21 of PTM book.  Kind of looks
chocolate brown - but this isn't Hershey!  Does anyone know the color?

	I guess we all know the exterior is orange, NO?!  Do you see a hint of
*red* in that orange  --  JUST  Kidding; just kidding!

	Looking at the scenery surrounding the cars, esp. the all-color Volkmer
book, brings back many fond memories.  Now if we could only shift San
Francisco weather to Allegheny, Westmoreland, Fayette, and Washington
Counties - even Somerset - it would sure be nice to live back there!
