G17S… only 20 GModel 17’s were ever made. 19 of them actually came out of the factory and the 20th one was assembled from left over parts in Texas.

Cockpit of a Curtiss Robin. Wrongway Corrigan crossed the Atlantic in a highly modified Robin.
The cockpit in a standard Robin is very close to what Lindbergh had in the Spirit of St Louis.
