Awesome classic, TERRIBLE...and I mean terrible....color. I don't care if it's authentic or from that period of time, this color has always been ugly. You had normal colors in that period of time too, you know...

But, because this is a classic car, we are all supposed to love it I get it.

Oh, com'on klier! The colour is not the best in the world, but it is still acceptable

PS. Great sport Wimmer! It's so nice!

Re: ***Jesus It's Gorgeous!***

The Adenauer Mercedes seems to have gained some popularity in recent times, I have always liked this model, especially the coupé version.

BTW Chris, would you not consider this car to be the equivalent of a Maybach at the time .......the 220a Ponton would be closer to an S class.

Check out the clock, remind you of anything.
The clock reminds me of the modernized version found in the current W221.

Colors like this were popular in those days.

I remember my dad's dream car in the early 1980s was a BROWN-colored BMW 6er.

Pretty much.

It has to be mentioned that only the "long-nose" Ponton's could be considered S-Classes whereas the standard Ponton with the "short-nose" would be an E-Class.

Re: ***Jesus It's Gorgeous!***

Good Lord - that is one beautiful color of the 300...never seen that color before. It's number one compared to a beautiful seafoam green I saw once.

Re: ***Jesus It's Gorgeous!***

That's a beautiful car - an absolute classic.
I know those colours were fashionable back then, but these days it looks rather like a Zune!
