Thanks for the fix.
We had two-tone grey interior, but our hot dog arm rest on the middle seat was black.
And... I think it’s pretty funny how the last half dozen pictures show all but one with their side view mirrors... VERTICAL! Ha!  |

I wonder if that is a 68 only thing? Lots of odd things about 68's, maybe they had grey armrests on the middle seat, like the grey/tan/red fresh air ducts on the front doors.

After looking at a few brochures I think you are correct about the green, red buses had the grey/grey interior and the side panels of the seats don't contrast with the ass part like the brown/beige ones in the green bus.
On a side note I saw this badass factory lightened singlecab leading the pack at the testing grounds in a French brochure, Le'vroom!
Although from the way all the drivers are leaning out of the corner with a look on their faces like they are going to need fresh underwear soon I suspect they aren't using that banked track to it's full potential

I saw this shot of an early bay panel on a documentary about Seattle on a local PBS station... This is at the Boeing factory in Everett. I rewound on the DVR and snapped this screenshot. Can't remember the name of the show... But this was the best part. |
