Not to deviate too much, but could you explain what color best describes 'other' on your list. With 5 of them I’m kind of curious.

Hi Aquasar!Hope this works to post my pic!


Here is my baby "Pete". I have seen at least 1 other here in Indy...maybe 2 but it may have been the same one. I also saw one at a Purdue game in West Lafayette. I have back bonnet stripes with white rule. I think those and the black aero grill really set off the gold. I put the smoke side turn signal indicators too, which helps the look.
I ordered SG sight unseen, and have to admit that I was worried until I saw one in person.

Boiler Up!

Chili Red is far too common. MrsDiff doesn't like Liquid Yellow. Black would be nice but they require detailing every day. Pure Silver would be nice but also a common color here in Indy.
Hey DrDiff- you must be a Vet (ie purdue grad) if you want to drive a Black & Gold car in Indy. No IU grad would be caught in one. BTW- My solid gold is in Brownsburg- I go through Avon every day!

There was a lot of questions abut Solid Gold when it first came out, but I agree, in the flesh it's a stunner. If I was to order a convertible, I'd have to give serious consideration to Solid Gold/Cordoba Beige combo.

Only problem with the Cordoba Beige is that you get the carpet and all the plasic trim in beige (baby poo) too....kinda to much in my opinion. I ordered anthracite and had custome leather seats. (Charcoal with Buckskin insets) Only wish I had an Anthracite Headliner.
