A beautiful beautiful dark gray....I don't what color this was but I've had 5 black cars in a rown until my new SL, which is silver. I am not one to usually like dark grays, but this color was so incredible on the 2007 I just had to share!!!!!

It could be Granite. I don't think that it's Graphite -- I've seen enough pictures of both of those colors in different light to be able to tell you that.
Good choice on the Dynamic Seats with massage
May delivery is soon enough -- just going to have to carry around a diaper for whenever you see another one go by and you start to drool! LOL
I'm going to want to see lots of pictures of that puppy, Jack! If I get pics of Andorite Grey while I'm in Germany (coming up soon here), or even good pics of a good sample, I'll post them up here on the W221 forum for you.
I am doing two S65's at least. Who knows how long I'll have to wait for delivery. I figure August or September as good delivery times. If I do a ROW spec car for Europe I should be able to get it in June or July (at least I'm hoping).
I've gone back-and-forth on a 57 for about 2 years now. Went as far as ordering a 57S last year -- but I just don't dig the CF -- and that car had alot of it. And in a car like that with the wood choices! To do it in CF...man....
So now it is a 57S, and AMG has agreed to let me do the interior and exterior with my trim and color choices (they'll build a spec Maybach 57, and then take it over to AMG Manufaktur for the mods). I am not sure about the exterior bieng monochromatic or two-tone, but I'm leaning towards monochromatic - and a color like this Andorite Grey would just look spectacular, I think.... I do think that the Maybach is one of the most spectacular cars in existance right now....
Anyways, Congrats on your order! I'm excited for you.

Don't worry about pictures...my Canon will probably need a new shutter halfway through the first shoot...:-)

And see, all of those anxiety attacks that were keeping you up nights about those threatening, fat fender flares are just a faded memory in the past....
Oh - and at this point the plan is for the 57S's home port to be near you in Vegas....
