I had both of my palomino 'tex '87s at the same time, the 300D was faded and pink, the 190Dt was a rich original palomino. I had bought them both used, both the same interior color originally, both the same model year. I would assume that the 300D being from Michigan, would've seen less sun than the 190Dt being from FL, but apparently not so. I had considered re-dying the pinkamino in my 300D, but looking closely at the un-faded 190Dt it was not originally a flat color, but more of a pebble-grain coloration, really an attractive color. It could still be re-dyed to richen the color, and would really turn back the clock on that interior. Vinyl is much easier to re-dye than leaher.

This 94 is certainly not as dark as Palomino from the 80's.

I really don't know why no wipers on the headlamps. Almost all the others I have seen had them. You got me why some don't and some do in those years.
