they were thinking.................
 
..................that someone might like emerald green.

Somebody bought it, so, they were probably right. :D

My dear friend who is a wholesaler in the used car business puts it this way:

"There is an ass for every seat"

Ever see the lime green color on Porsches? We called it anti-theft green. Too ugly to steal.

Ever seen that houndstooth pattern cloth they use on Euro models? Very tasteful and understated. NOT!

I don't know, I kind of like it! :D I'm not kidding I would buy it just to have the only one, besides it looks clean.

I wouldn't want the interior that color....don't believe Coverlay makes a green dash cap :D

Theorem proven:

"There is an ass for every seat." :D :D

If the price was right I would take it. SDL's are tough to find! And I've seen worse.... Ever seen gold with the red interior? Kinda looked like the decor in a Chinese restaurant. RT

Hatterasguy 02-01-2005 07:18 PM

Yep their is! :D I am a sucker for a rare car.

fahrgewehr2 02-01-2005 07:18 PM

That's a 300SEL.

fahrgewehr2 02-01-2005 07:20 PM

Someone posted a pic of a navy blue 140 car, with a red interior. You want rare, That's your car.

It's somewhere on the forum.

The father of a friend of mine bought an 80-81 Caddy Eldorado with that color combination. As an added bonus it had the dark green landau top. We still laugh about that car.

300sdlguy 02-01-2005 07:50 PM

WOW, on a 140, I didn't even know Red or burgandy was an offered interior color since 1989

VeeDubTDI 02-01-2005 07:54 PM

Oh my. At least it's clean and not worn out! :eek:

I don't think I could handle gold paint with red leather.

Of course, I'm not really a fan of my color combination either... teal paint with tan leather. I'd rather have black on black or another dark color with black leather.

edit: hey... 500th post. :cool:
