I just started a book that mentions a ~1957 Ford Fairlane. The upholstery was available in 138 variations, iirc.

That started my thinking about cars in the 1980s. The Accord was available in six flavors. Buick had a model that had 32,768 available variations.

For manufacturing and inventory purposes, what would you rather have to deal with? Take a look at the stock prices.

Not that I'm saying a homebuilder should only offer kitchen counter tops and cabinets in Harvest Gold or Avocado...
