I'm getting dizzy just trying to read all those words around the steering wheel! I'm not even sure what some of them mean
It did make for one fascinating photo though! You were lucky to be able to get so close to get that photo.
I agree with the lucky part...the car was parked on the curb outside the ice cream shop and was sitting mostly in the shade. I was able to reach over with my camera and grab a couple shots of the interior (after noticing how much things have changed since way back then).
I wish some of my other shots from that day had come out better...I still have a long ways to go with taking decent shots in harsh sunlight.

I always wanted to grow up and be a fireman. But now I know you can't do both. http://www.petepics.smugmug.com
