they were thinking.................

..................that someone might like emerald green.

Somebody bought it, so, they were probably right.

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! I'm not kidding I would buy it just to have the only one, besides it looks clean.

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

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.

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

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.
