Wedgewood Blue metallic 941?
Does anyone own, know someone who owns, or has knowledge of a dealership having ever sold a 03 w211 in Wedgewood blue? It is darker than Platinum Blue, but lighter than the current Capri Blue and was available by special order only also requiring a special order to coordinate the interior. It looks as though they discontinued this color and replaced it with Capri Blue. Curious as what this color actually looks like.

This is too weird -- I asked this on my factory tour!
Apparently NO ONE for this over-priced paint. It was supposed to be elegant and carried a $1000+ surcharge over the usual metallic up charge.

It's really funny you mention this becuase there's some guy who always comes to my friends car wash with that exact color. I've always wondered what color it was as I've never seen it before, also it has a solid blue interior which I've never seen before in any benz and too me didnt look to appealing.

When I was at my dealership in Hampton, VA, this past summer they had two 2004 E320's in Wedgewood Blue--with the paint upcharge on the factory sticker. I don't know if they had a request, got them from the depot by chance, or just wanted to have them for stock. Nice color.

konigstiger: I was not sure of the interior when I posted, so I omitted any mention. Best recollection is that they were both ash. Not blue....since I know I have never seen the blue in person. It is possible they were '03's and my memory is not time accurate, but the upcharge was definitely there. The dealer typically has a relatively low inventory, and whenever I did see them, they were just off the truck, in the back lot and unprepped, not out on the display lot.
