[W126 Coupe] Wood Trim Patterns?

[Gerry Van Zandt]

Two types of wood were generally available:

Zebrano (a straight dark grain) on lower-model cars
Burl walnut (wurzelholz in German) on higher-end cars

All US 560 models (sedans, coupes and SLs) came standard with burl walnut.

Generally, the W126 sedans (300SE/SEL, 420SEL) for the US came with standard zebrano wood.

On non-US sedans and coupes, you could order either as an option I think on any model, but the "standard" wood was zebrano.

On the 124 E-class cars you see zebrano as standard on US models (260E, 300E, E320, etc.), except on the coupes, convertibles and 400E/E420 and 500E/E500 cars, which came from the factory with burl walnut.

Cheers,
Gerry
