The first car pictured is actually ivory. If it seems that there are a lot of old benzos that color I would bet you could find that it was the most popular color in the eighties. Personally in the thirty or so benzes I have owned I bet ten or so have been ivory. I like it very much but the maple yellow is my favorite color for old benzes.
