It sits on a set of black-painted rims with silver-painted wheels covers. Brown is the theme used for the interior and blends beautifully with the polished wood dash and trims, which the seller reports to be all original. More chrome is evident in the interior in a perfect amalgamation of the design cues. The oversized vintage 3-spoke chrome steering wheel has reportedly been remounted. The foot pedals are engraved with the Mercedes-Benz Star for added attention to detail.
