What kind of wood was used in the Streamlines particularly the 1973? Was it real wood or laminate?

Also are the cabinet doors wood with the cabinets metal?

Please help if you can.

Thank you so much!

I'm not sure about a 73 model although the brochure pictures look like my 62 Dutches.If so, then they are printed faux dark walnut on masonite,most of them being hollow core with a real wood frame.Mine are in bad shape so I plan to replace the paneling,cabinet doors and bed and lower kitchen cabinet faceings with real wood birch.I personally like the warmer color and feel of birch.The cabinet framings are aluminum ,and with the rest of the interior exposed metal,is painted beige.Again,something I plan to redo in a warmer cream color.
