Re: [MBZ] Paint colors
But, a recent survey found that a whopping percentage of people assumed that people with black cars were powerful people. The same survey found that people assumed that red vehicles were driven by risk takers. I don't know that I agree with the latter statement as both of my vehicles are red and I have never considered myself a risk taker.

Re: [MBZ] Paint colors
Around here, I saw a lot of cream colored 110/111. The majority of 110/111 interiors I saw were red, but had bucket seats, not a bench. Second place interior was tan. That was a popular color combo for the finnie sedans (heckflosse). On Wed, May 20, 2015 at 2:53 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: My first MB was DB-186 Cement Gray.
