The Interiors Thread.

I love the baroque interiors found in American cars of the 1950s/60s. This is a 1957 Lincoln Premiere.

It’s madness. That would be Rolls Royce money to make that today.

I don't think I'd call that Baroque. I tend to think of Baroque as far more ornamental and theatrical. This is more streamlined, designerly and organized...very Art Deco. I can't think of any production car interior approaching truly Baroque to be honest - custom lowriders seem to be the only ones that get close.

I like the interior of the Nobe. Not ornate, but quite stylish.

I too want my car to look like a billiards table inside.

I'm getting more mini golf vibes.

These looks pretty uncomfortable.

These looks pretty uncomfortable.

They remind me of Fuego seats. Last time I sat in either car, were at the NY Auto Show Forty years ago.

Corolla seats

Can't imagine sitting in that for more than 20 minutes.

SLC looking so very right in blue leather.

I would be thumbing the horn pad constantly. The cream upper is a bit of a letdown, gotta say.

I miss those control pods around the driver's wheel.

Early Celicas, surprisingly, had a [mostly] very stylish dash. It loses it with some of the details (as was common in the period) but the basic design is actually quite attractive.

Fiat 130 Coupe
Supremely confortable car (since I've sat in one of those a while ago) but the interior is really quite nice with those polished and machined lower door card trims and quite good fit and finish.
Also, I'm in awe of those orange crushed velour seats
The colour is affectionately called "aragosta" (italian for lobster") but other colours (and a leather interior) were available too.
