Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kenny Coyote" data-source="post: 221637" data-attributes="member: 102">Better than which cars? I was so young then I don't remember what cars we were looking at that had metallic paint. We got a new Cadillac around 1974 or 1975 which I loved - our first one with leather seats, power windows and locks. At the same time we had  a little yellow Mercedes convertible which was nice but we didn't use it as often. Then around 1977 or 1978 in place of the Cadillac we got a larger Mercedes, which was technically a better, more expensive car than the Cadillac but I liked the Cadillac better. The Mercedes we got around 1977 or 1978 was much more like JR's Mercedes than the sports car, although it wasn't quite as big as JR's model of Mercedes. It wasn't metallic paint, it was, of all colors - light orange, like the color of orange sherbet with a white interior and had a diesel engine. It would have have been a midlevel model I would think - do you have any ideas as to the model number of the car? If I heard it, it might sound familiar.</blockquote>
