Interior view reveals removal of four rows of seats for repair of fire damage. 2666 and 2614--but not 8006--were equipped with these fancy window shades, a far cry from thesame-old, same-old black shades worn by the rest of the fleet. Note the Christmas wreath hanging in the seventh window from the left, a homey touch by a great corporation in an age when wreaths were not stolen and the rare graffiti read, "I love Jerry" in lipstick letters an inch high on the back of a seat. |
