Dang if you aren't right Earl, that Richardson shot is the one. I was wrong on the date, but it's still the 280. 280 was, I believe, the first coach painted Gold, and the only one with three lamp vents ever painted Gold, and that car has three lamp vents, I'm sure, but I can't find a copy of it today. Make of it what you will....
The 306 has small, home made in-line vents for the lamps, 284 and 320 are harder to tell apart. These 4 are the only wood non-vestibule coaches painted Gold.
