Lovely... Like Arcana Chicken egg Green.

I had a Green on Green car one time. A Mercury Sable (old style). The only one I have ever seen was the one I had. Mostly they came Tan interior but this one had matching Green dash and seats and everything. It was a special build order for a Ford Company exec. I got it as a Program car. And drove it several years and ended up getting top dollar for it when I sold it as it was being sought after. Some local Ford Dealer made me an offer over Market value for it when I was in there looking at a truck. I had no plans to sell it nor even think about trading it. But he had a buyer that had been searching for one (and likely had seen mine) so he just made me an offer I couldn't refuse right then and there. I refused the first one and he then upped it again to about what I had paid for the car two years before that! And I sold it to them. Was a darker green but a pretty color and combination. Lots of interest in that car everywhere it went.

That's a tempting CD Jack. Very nice color combo

I need to sell our Acura first. How soon do you need to sell? I'd be interested in checking it out if you think I have time to sell my car first. Once I'm funded, I want to find a 300D or 300CD that I can have my wife use as her daily driver right away. Her only requirements are that it can't have blue interior and everything has to work (most importantly the AC and heat).

Hey Jimmy.

Was my first 300SDL teal? Funny thing is when I ran the VIN thru the russian site, it said something about gray metallic something or rather.

OH. By the way, I've got something out in my garage with your name on it. I'll save it for you until we meet.

It might not have been called Teal, but it sure looks rather Teal-ish.......



Dang, I can't remember what we have been discussing.......
Seems like it's Blue, though.....

That ugly thing is the E brake release handle.


I wouldn't mind a RHD W123. That would be even more unique in the US.
