Has anyone heard if that upgraded interior will have the "chrome" in the 'vert? My little brother had a '65 Olds Dynamic 88 ragtop with a similar dash treatment, and when you drove with the sun behind you, it produced a lot of glare....
I'm hoping they'll change the dash for the 'vert somewhat.......without having to stick with the base setup. Any thoughts? :scratch:

Good point - take a look at the new Maxima and others with gobs of metal on the stack and dash - not only is it a potential glare hazard but could be very hot to the touch in southern climes. Hopefully all of this has been factored into the design process.

No Kidding, I have fond memories of driving my 66 Fastback, no air, a metal shifter, a metal rimmed steering wheel, and vinyl seats..... in Phoenix Arizona.

I literally drove with a towel until it would be cool to the touch.

Stop you moaning, atleast you could fix yourself a snack while you waited for the steering wheel to cool down.

Anyone else want a grilled cheese sammich? Hot off the vinyl.
