Pagoda Notes V15-1
« on: January 12, 2021, 14:15:54 »
Pagoda Notes V 15-1 arrived yesterday with an interesting article about colors which prompted me to post the following question/idea.
 I wonder what are the most popular colors chosen by Pagoda owners.
 I would think that members of the Pagoda SL Group are a good example/sampling of Pagoda owners in general.  So, would a quick “unscientific” survey of members colors be of interest.  It would be interesting to see a simple pie chart representation of the most popular colors, maybe even by model to see if trends changed the choice.   Any opinions?

I’ll start:   230SL   1965    DB571 (h) Metallic Red

I thought I read somewhere, that the most popular color for W113 when ordered new was "white".

As a kid in the NY area back in the 60s I can tell you that 050 was quite popular...
