I checked my 1990 300CE with the Russian VIN decoder but got no info about it.

There are two kinds of wood trim in W124, right? Burlwood and Zebrano. How do you know which one is which? Is zebrano the one lighter in color and with stripes?

zebrano is more common and has a grain similar to horizontal lines

Burl is a knotted walnut

Thanks Don,

Then I guess my PO has replaced the center console with zebrano trim while the rest is Burlwood. Is there another trim color? and where is it shown in your vehicle data?

I had a '90 300CE, I don't believe that burlwood was available in the US on the coupe.
