When I went shopping in California for my first Mercedes back in about 1980 I was after a W123 NA diesel.
Just about every one seemed to be maple yellow. It was like it was the default color or something. I almost went for a pearl gray 1977 W123 240D manual that an Air Force guy at Travis AFB was selling. It had about 120k on it and it was absolutely mint, mint, mint.
