Were original seats leather or vinyl?

They were also carpeted on the transmission tunnel and floors in a wool blend that I doubt was Wilton but looks similar. They did not have the aluminum trim piece around the lower door opening to hold the carpeting in place like the street cars. As for the photo of the seat from 3014, the grain does not look original to me, but the seat may either be worn or heavily treated with some kind of vinyl product.

Ned,

Do you have this info for the USRRC cars... more specifically for Lew Florence's CSX2459?

Also, anyone know the actual color of Lew's car... sunlight yellow from '64?

Thanks!
