dave the coach was surely made by Elegant coach as the very beautiful brass
plaque was still mounted in the interior of the coach just above the monitor
panel. It may have been made for some kind of an office since it had many
different kinds of lights both interior and exterior. Next time I go up
will take pictures of it and get them to you.
As to the second coach it sure looked like a palm beach, same color as mine
and palm beach colors in the interior wiht gauncho bed opposite the entrance
door.
