I wonder how long it'll be before someone retrofits an '05 interior into a classic like a '67.

I don't know, but I still prefer the '67 dash layout best - sentimental reasons, I guess. The '05 is close enough to bring back memories, though. The seats in the '05 will be very superior to the '67, though.

Plus, I miss the '67 console with the compartment with the sliding door - that was cool! Then there was the foot pedal that you could press to activate the windshield washers! I don't know how many people I tricked with that little pedal... "Look! The wipers respond to snapping my fingers!" They had no clue.

Yeah, I wonder why they went away with the high beam button? The Europeans may not always be right!

On most cars now, you pull back on the directional lever to flash the high beams. Pull back harder until it clicks into place to keep the high beams on.

As fas as I know, The switch move was purely financial and physical. There was a problem with so many wires coming away from the main electrical loom, hence why everything is now on or around the steering wheel. It would not be a massive job to put your own switch, you couls use the foot switch from any classic muzzy.

My '72 had the main beam light in the dash as a red pony, now that was cool!

That is correct. I tried it out on the car in Cincinnati. It was the left arm.

I also tried to turn on the fog lights, but they wouldn't work. I turned on the headlights and then pulled out the ****, maybe they weren't hooked up. It was a pre-prod model.

Also, just basic switch desings have advanced greatly in 30 years.

From what I remember dust, dirt and rocks kept getting into the switch and gunking it up.

Having torn apart the inner part of my turn signal, dimmer windshiels wiper arm and replaced the wiring harness; it does make sense for wiring routing and financal packages.

After the dimmer switch being on the floor for so long, the transportation safety people almost completely outlawed the dimmerswitch in the turnsignal. Too many wrecks caused by people getting their foot caught in the steering wheel. HA!

Wow, I haven't been able to tell that joke for 20 YEARS! Oh well, its probably as bad a joke now as then.

Yeah - That joke is funny on two levels. It's a little funny as a joke. then it's also funny because of how bad it is!
