That at least can be relatively easily removed. When it's painted on, like on my late 240D it's hell to get off. And even worse if it's a metallic finish.

If you're ever down around Philly and want to "take a whiff", and a step back in time- drop me a line...at 30,000 miles, my 240D still looks and smells exactly as it did on the showroom floor in '83.

dude that's a super nice shift knob. slightly edges out the skull one i just recently saw posted up here. i just picked one up very similar to that one for my slushbox. should look super nice when installed.

we would need to see pics and be sent jars of this smell in the mail (you can bottle it up and send it to us express mail) to prove this point.

any car that's been driven 30K miles and has been around 30+ years will never look or smell like it did in the showroom floor...except in the mind of the proud owner

Beautiful car !!! Well cared for You can give the one in mercedes enthusiast competition .

I too have a Zebrano shift knob and to think I was calling it wood ! When you get one you'll notice about 2 inches of thread under it I found that you can adjust it so you dont have to lift your arm off the rest to shift comfortably Can you say pass the grey poupon !

Found a good supply of leather shift boots all colors . Go to goodwill look for the leather skirts. preferably take your wife along or you get stared at ! Some assembly required.
