[W126 Coupe] Pinstripes on an SEC

[Terry Ratliff]

I had the original pinstriping removed and had it re-done along the break
line just below the door handle Did a double line, dark-burgundy & light
gray:

I am fairly certain, as are others that the SEC did not come factory direct
with the pinstripes.  If you take a look at the pictures the 2 other SECs do
not have pinstriping.  Although Gary has done some cool stuff on the inside
of the door with pin striping.

I have a 1989 SEC, black (040) over parchment leather.  My car has  

gold pinstripes that were applied by an aftermarket pinstriper of  

national acclaim..

 

You can see some photos of the striping at:

I think it looks fine.  I would never (personally) have pinstriping  

applied to one of my cars, but I have never minded the fact that my  

SEC has it, and it was not a "make or break" factor in purchasing my  

car as it was done very nicely.

 

Cheers,

Gerry
