CLEANING HOUSE

[tomhanson]

We did inventory two weeks ago and I came across some hard to find parts, if anyone is interested. I have a small stash of the original "500E" trunk signs, 2 right front door lower pockets in Palomino for cars with the optional sound system, and the EVO II wheels are available again, in the silver painted finish. Please contact me at the office for details.

Are you positive that the color is Palomino? If it were Parchment I would be interested.

 

[nocfn]

not to hijack a mushroom thread or spark a debate, however how much of a change is there in color from Palomino to Parchment or what epc calls Pebble on the later E500?

 

[gerryvz]

Cream beige = used on all W126 models and on W124s through end of model year 1993

Parchment = used on 124s from late 1993 (model years 1994 and 1995)

Palomino = always a very different color that is unrelated to cream beige/parchment/mushroom/champignon

No 124.036 was built with Palomino / Saddle / Date interior (interior code xx4). Would need to confirm the exact 4-digit code of the door pockets, or post a photo...

 

[nocfn]

So 275A is Leather "Pebble" on the 94/95 aka "Parchment", do I understand that right. That is the description I get from the searches

Your 1994 E500 has interior code xx5 and would be referred to as "Parchment" in USA (for US model years 1994 and 1995).

Not sure what chassis/years/regions "Pebble" was used on but I wouldn't add any more confusion.

 

[nocfn]

I will trust you, not sure where to find the "XX5" I just read data card and it calls it Pebble - Go figure. (Admit that the EPC often does not emit the proper info other than the code number) I also may not have the same epc access as you. GVZ made me a Data CARD EXRTRODINAIRE so that is good enough for me.

 

[gsxr]

Don't trust ANY Of the names in the EPC for paint or interior color codes. They may be names used in other regions, or in some cases (most paint codes) the name/description is completely wrong.

You can get free online EPC access, enter your VIN, look up the door pockets, click the footnote, and the EPC will show you the proper 4-digit suffix for the part number in the color which belongs on your car. Then you hope they are still available, if buying new...

We needed someone to stir the pot!! (what's that smell?)

 

[tomhanson]

For sure Palomino.

 

[tomhanson]

COLOR CODE 8320 WAS USED IN 1992-1993 ACCORDING TO THE EPC.

 

[tomhanson]

"palomino" is frequently used as a quick reference to a color in this business. The correct name can be different ones, and some people even use their own descriptions such as tan (too generic) or camel (one hump or two).

The pocket also fits an E420.
