Default What Lexus "Special Editions" Have There Been?

I know about the Platinum Edition that has been offered on several models.

And the Coach Edition ES300 and RX300.

And the Pebble Beach Edition SC430.

And the Neiman Marcus Edition GS450h.

And the Black Diamond Edition ES330.

Have there been other limited edition, special edition, or exclusive versions of Lexus models?

There was a dark metallic blue back in '95-'96 SC, only 600 made. Gosh darn it, I can't remember the name! Uh oh, they say that memory is the first to go.......anyone remember?

The closest color we have to it now is Neptune Blue Mica. I remember the color because a few years back Chanel came out with "C'iel de Nuit" or "Night Sky" nail polish. Dark Blue with little sparkles in it and it reminded me of the SC limited edition color.



**Ahh, I just remembered the color name. It was Baltic Blue!!!!!

Not many people know about it, but there is also the very rare Anniversary Edition for the 1994 ES300. Not sure how many were made, but here is the list of features it has:

- Remote 6-CD Auto Changer
- Leather Trim Package
- Power Tilt and Slide Moonroof
- Gold Package
- Special Logo Floor Mats
- Special Wheels (similar to the Coach Edition wheels on the '96 model, but with a chrome finish)

That particular special edition ES comes in only one color, which I believe is called Opal White.

Well....yes, but that's not surprising. SoCal is where street rods and customizing got their start back in the late 40's.....and then exploded in the 50's.

Anyway, I would have liked to see that rod put into production. It wasn't quite as outlandish as the Plymouth Prowler, but it not only looked more like authentic 50's Deuce street rods but also had something the Prowler NEVER had.....quality.

By the way, that's a nice two-tone IS. I've seen it posted on CL a number of times.

The orange racing IS was on display last January here at the D.C. show.

That two tone IS is the Millen IS430.
They dropped a 3UZ and mated it with a Getrag. An incredible car.
