Hi, I just got my Zertifikat and thought I would add to this thread.
I started another thread with some of the other M code issues, but wanted to confirm that I have just found out from a previous owner that my car originally had Beige Leatherette which would enforce (at least for 1954 cars) that M079 could be Beige Leatherette.

2) the M018 I am confused with this... |
I was under the impression that option M018 is for Egg tail lights. My car has that option, and it's an Oct '54 U.S. Bound Semaphore car.

Hi again 
Soooo you mean the correct leartherette for my oval is Beige? correct? code M079? is that?
For me is ok, I love each colour, i like even more beige.
regards.

In my opinion, If your car had red leatherette upholstery, then the birth certificate would show option M104 and not M079.
Yes, the cars came with Red (M104) or Beige (M079) leathette, and depending on which colour was used, the associated 'M' option would be listed on the birth certificate.
The reference you listed above only lists the options available and not the 'M' option number that goes with those options. |

the white arrows look like ultramaroon to me then it looks like black, then the two different reds. |
True there is two diferents reds, the arrows you show is rusty, not painted
I will track the colour tomorrow, today i am not at the garage.

I can believe is Ultra Maroon, tomorrow in the light I will try to find it better and take pictures, by the way which place is better to see the real original color?
|
Best place to check is behind the dash in the trunk and under the cower (where the wiper motor is) and the channel for the seal in the engine compartment will usually have PERFECT original paint. Next best would be the firewall under the gas tank.
Take some pics of these areas and post |

but in my case according tecnical from thesamba the M079 Upholstery, Stone Beige/Fur Grey and which says is leatherette instead of this material, nothing is written about the leartherette colour if beige red or other.
but for example according to another info i found this:
Januar 1954 bis Februar 1955, ab Fg.Nr. 1 - 579 683 bis 1 - 823 604
Karosserie (body) L 41 schwarz (black)
Polsterkombination Kunstleder (leatherette) K 110 beige
K 155 rotbeige
then in your opinion what should be the leatherette colour?
Like this could make sense Back the body then leatherette beige or red no?

Does anyone have a birth certificate from the mid to late 1950's that does not have M018 on it?
