The front bench seat and matching rear bench, both upholstered in tan and brown wool broadcloth with a tuck and roll pattern, offer exceptional comfort. Faux wood graining on painted metal accents the windows and sills, and a light-colored headliner create a serene ambiance. The art deco dashboard, with its faux wood grain, square white-faced gauges with copper accent trim, and original ""banjo style"" Bakelite steering wheel, is a sight to behold.
