Sparkling Silver in Seattle?

I am considering ordering an S/S, but they never have them to see at the dealer. Any one have one in, or near Seattle that I can view? Thinking of blk. roof.

Well I'm as far from seattle as you can get but see my gallery for the color combo. I ordered sight unseen and have not regretted it at all.

I live on Vashon Island and have a Sparkling Silver with Black Roof. Redwood Lounge Interior and Anthracite headliner. Sparkling Silver on sunny days looks Champagne Silver. On darker days it has a Greenish caste to it.

Just ordered sparkeling silver but was not on the list before I went to the dealership. Loui is correct, looks greenish at times. Very nice. My wife made the decision though but I really liked it. My other color was PW but SS blew it away IMO.

Yup, It was no contest. I knew I wanted PW, until I saw SS one time. Would love to see it again to be sure. And, I'm not a silver fan!

I knew I wanted SS/W the first time I put the colors together. Mine also has a greenish tinge to it under the right light conditions.

They had one on the floor in Portland last time I was in there. It had the red leather as well.

Sparkling silver is a color that seems like it is hard to capture in photo's I had someone call it "taupe". That seems pretty accurate to me. It's a color that goes very well with black. Check out my gallery for more pictures.

Not in Seattle (but was born in Ballard Hospital !!)...you can check the gallery for another twist on an SS.

Sparkling Silver is an awesome color. Join the SS Owners Club!!
