No. Most common were reversible seats (for an example, see D&SNG 257, nee RGS 257, D&RG 267, D&RG 43 built by Jackson & Sharp, 1880) with, in the case of D&RG at least, red plush upholstery.

D&RGW replaced most of the original (the ones not replaced with modern seats in the 1926-37 rebuild) seats in the Silverton cars with seats from Denver trolleys that had just been scrapped in the early to mid 1950's.

I'll let somebody else supply the pictures, there are many of them out there.
