Back to the History of the 4 door sedans


I have found some interior colour codes but unfortunately I haven't got examples to show (who can help?). These colours were available on ALL models of Mercedes-Benz in 1961 so it could be that some colours can't be found on the Heckflosse cars. Please keep this in mind.

The Heckflosse sedans had a cloth interior standard but MB Tex (leather-like material) and genuine leather interiors could be ordered at extra cost. The Coupés and Convertibles had a genuine leather interior standard, some of the leather colours were exclusive for the Coupés and Convertibles.

 

Cloth
There were just 4 cloth colour choices for the Heckflosse cars in 1961. The colour of the cloth depended on the exterior colour of the car. For exterior colour codes, please check the previous chapter: 17) Exterior Colours.

I have been lucky to have found another brochure dealing with MB-Tex and leather interior colours, this time a brochure dated from 1966.
Please note again that these colours are for ALL models in 1966.
