Good call, Ernesto...

Ah, the interior color. It was a common one in the big luxury American cars from the 70's and 80's, and with the "mouse fur" velour upholstery.

The Car magazines of that somewhat benighted time called it "Bordello Red" because it reminded the automotive journalists of whorehouse interior decor.

I wonder how they knew that.
