48 Seat Coach

While I don't have access to the color scheme for the 48 seat coaches of the Pullman lot 6663, I have found a listing of colors for two other coaches built for the 7th train City of Los Angeles in 1941, plans 7444 and 7445, lot 6635. In the specification for these cars, Pullman refers to two color schemes as the "gray, red, and blue color scheme" (plan 7444) and the "orange and blue color scheme" (plan 7445). Until I find the correct listing, this will have to do.
