GMCers,

I'm curious now - does anybody else have a 77 or so Eleganza with solid wood
cabinet doors (overhead and under-sink)? I posted a better picture of the
doors on my coach at:

http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=180485&a=6656116

or "GMC Interior" at:

Just trying to find out if it came that way from the factory.

Peter,
Don't know about Eleganzas but my 77 Kingsley came with factory installed
wood doors but louvered.

FWIW,

assume they came that way. by the way, I will be in boulder mid July
in case I am close to you and maybe we can trade stories.

Yes, you have the standard 77 Eleganza cabinet, although
they appear to be nicely refinished. They are made of
white oak and were originally covered with a cheap
walnut enamel, so as to match the formica-covered
cabinets.

Thanks, Gary.
While I had all the overhead cabinets out I also removed the doors from the
under-sink cabinet and gave them a quick "stain & seal".
