Very nice! Not a combination you see very often.

Very nice. I assume there is a lot of custom accent work on the car. Never seen a spare tire cover other than black on any Pagoda.

[goda77]

Yes, quite a bit of custom work.  We dyed the spare tire cover to match the interior, and ordered extra carpet for the trunk just to give it a more finished feel. We chose Birdseye Maple for the wood just so it would 'pop' against the burgundy leather and then chose to do the steering centre with the Birdseye as well.  Its been a slow tedious journey, but definitely happy with the outcome

I think this is about as gorgeous as it gets.  The color combo is just stunning.  A friend owns a 1960 300SL roadster. It was originally with a red interior but a drab non metallic gray-blue exterior.  During restoration he had the exterior changed to what he called chicken fat yellow and retained the red interior and added a red rag top.  This car reminds me so much of his.  Congratulations.

Lovely car.  In great condition.

The one thing I am not gaga over are the wide whitewalls.  I guess it is just a personal preference.
