Thanks for a great photo Jan. Cute "uniforms" on the 2 drivers!
The seat covers appear to canvas not leather or the shiny "vinlylized" canvas that was so popular in the car industry back then. What does everyone else think about these seat covers? David

Hi David,
The quality of the colors in this image is -to me- not 100%. The OD looks real and also the tires.The seats not. The sky looks also real but with computer equipment you can manipulate everything today. See the movie "Longest Day" in color!It looks a little bid like that. I wonder if this print was a black and white print first. I hope not!
By the way I still believe that OD colored leather is still original for the GPA not canvas and
not like the light green vinylised seats of an Studebaker amphibious weasel (M29C).
Kind regards,
Jan
P.S. I will ask the man of this photo where it comes from.
