Pix of my 2004 CLK 500 Designo Mocha Black "Special Edition"
Here you go Noah M. and others that asked... just picked up my mocha black beauty, the new "Saks Fifth Avenue" Special Edition CLK 500 Cabrio in Designo Mocha Black with Stone Nappa Leather, Alcantara accents and Ash Wood trim.

Below you'll find copies of the window sticker, some promotional info the dealer had, and some of my first pictures after delivery.

Note the "Ash Wood" trim in dash, along doors, steering wheel, and on glove box. Also note shifter with aluminum and ash handle. "Designo" is etched lightly in the aluminum part.

From most angles Mocha Black looks indistinguishable from Black Opal, as in this picture.

This picture came out a bit strange... it appears sorta purple, but it doesn't look that way live. VERY similar to Black Opal...

Note that they even extended the Ash wood inserts to the rear seats side panels.

This picture and picture #7 below may give the best impression of the color. It proved hard to capture the "chocolate" brown tint that only appears at certain angles in direct sunlight.
