Why do old Volvos (and many old Mercedes) always have blue seats?

Because they are really cool :D

Seriously though, back in the old days cars had much more of a variety in interior colors, like blue, red, green etc.
Today's cars are different. The interior colors to choose from are: "Booring" or " Extra Booring"

Of my extensive fleet of old Volvo and Mercedes (about qty 20), I only remember 2 Volvo and 1 Mercedes with blue seats. Of course, this count could be a memory defect.
