'54 Buick Special

I learned to drive on my Grandmother's '54 Buick Special (4 door sedan), virtually the same interior. The starter was part of the accelerator. You pressed down and it started, then you just used the pedal the same as normal! I was 6'2" and could almost stretch out across the front seat.

 

Shoes

Naaa

It's pointing to her face, not her heart. :D

 

what a beautiful dashboard

what a beautiful dashboard

 

No seat belts necessary

Steering column perfectly designed to impale the heart. Good thing she has those white gloves on!

Great reference! You hardly see the behind-the-scenes work.
