Follow the money. Words add value. A tan interior is now an "oatmeal" interior. Brown leather seats are now "tobacco." You no longer find parts, you "source" them. Cha-ching, cha-ching. Worn is now "patina." Anyone can have a well-worn old car with tan interior with replacement parts from a wrecking yard. The money wants patina, oatmeal or tobacco interior with parts sourced from respectable sources. Follow the money.
