Maybe they raised the windows on the inside, without changing the outside appearance. Whike I'm sure they could do it, playing with the wall of a passenger car is pretty major work for a few moments of privacy of dubious need. After all, the floor of the car would be around four feet above railhead, and the window sills would be three feet above that. The table was in the middle of the room; a peeper would have to be pretty tall.
Anyway, another unsolved mystery.

I will keep looking. Perry did say that he had the windows raised, mentioning the fine work in the shop, etc. Perhaps there was an error in context ("had the windows raised" may have meant that the windows were raised). You're right in that the 99 / Pocono was a single car, purchased from one of DL&W's directors during the Davis years, a man named George F. Baker in 1937.
