Gold CL65...what a waste
Clean car, low miles but I can't imagine it to be the color of choice for most. In fact with only 42 made in 2006, I wouldn't be surprised if its the only one! Sorry if I offend the fans but to me it looks like a grandma color Century or Impala. It's definitely a sleeper. Who knows, maybe a low ball good deal would make it worth a wrap or new paint.

It's not Gold it's Pewter.

It looks more like desert silver, even though it lists it as gold then pewter. This one is listed as pewter (and also as gray). I know the lighting is different but I think pewter has a lot more metallic. I could be wrong....it wouldn't be the first time.

i like it! w215 is getting old now and becoming a classic look, colours like this can fit it now, give it another 5 years and these will look classic.

The first one posted is desert silver. That has to be one of the only CL65's in that color. You very rarely see the CL500's in that color.

Looks great! If you want a unique car, why on earth have a boring typical color (silver, black, white, etc)?

I'm thinking It's because those are appealing colors on a car whereas the CL in question looks horrible. Just a hunch but I'm going to stick with it.

Why would you want a supermodel with blonde or brunette hair when she could have green hair? Really, the blonde and brunettes are just too common and boring.

If the interior were black it would look much better.

I was thinking if the outside was black it would look so much better. LOL

Here's another rare/odd combo, Horizon Blue with Ash interior. This is much better in my opinion. I'm sure everyone is different.
