A customer could get nearly ANY interior color he wanted back then.Just like the exterior paint schemes,those interior color choices in the dealer albums were merely popular recommended suggestions,not "Mandatory take it or leave it decisions".

Silver with red guts was a common color combo in Mercedes. Many Gullwing cars were that way in the 50's.
