Hey Douglass,
Yea, I guess you're right. My Dad suggested the same - perhaps the dealer installed the radio, antenna, and frigiking A/C. The radio doesn't seem to bad, but the A/C kit looks like a bear to install after manufacturing. Seems like it'd be a whole lot easier to install at the factory. We the MB dealers saving money (and keeping it) by installing these items themselves?
I thought the interior was leather because that's what the paper work indicated, from the original owner when selling the car to my father. I must admit (with red faced embarassment), that I didn't realize the interior was NOT leather. I guess I'm just not very observant (or just gullable). However, m y Dad confirms the material is as the data card says: MB Tex. I am, however, pleasantly suprised at how well the material has held up over the years. I wonder if leather would have done so well.
