Inspired by the "Boring Finishes" thread.
Things've been a little quiet around here lately, anyway.
So, it's not just guitars and lawn furniture that have become downright ennui-inspiring in the last couple of decades, car interiors are guaranteed to offend no one as well.
It started to sink in when I was looking at Cadillac ATS' a couple of years back, and decided since silver only comes with a black interior and blue and white weren't any better, I'd wait a while.
In fact, checking just now shows they only offer black interior.
Sure they're dropping it for 2019 but talk about hobbling your own feet sales wise.....I mean at least I think they offered a red a couple of years back, but again, not in my 3 primary exterior choices.
Ok, RWD w/IRS at sub-BMW prices? How about a Mustang?
If I can get past the deletion of the V6 option, I can get a white or black interior.
I ain't even gonna go see if I can still get a butternut interior with blue paint from BMW, like my '01 325i.
I'm cursed with the memory of my '91 Thunderbird Supercoupe: Silver exterior with gorgeous sky blue leather interior.
Those are 8-way power adjustables even for the passenger BTW, even those side boulsters are power adjust.
Clamp you in nice'n'tight.
Recaro eat your heart out.
And the first time I ever saw a Cadillac I actually wanted to live with for a few days to see if it was a good fit, was a '67 gold (of course) Eldorado that had been brought to the dealership I worked at as a trade-in.
Like this one:
But what really knocked me on my heels when I went to check out the the interior was this:
I finally started to really "get" Cadillac....
You could get this too:
Or this, a couple of years later:
