Interiors and Dashboards (interesting and awful!)

[NewcastleFalcon]

Bit of a revival, a very interesting article full of pics on the back of a current subject of the Aston Martin Lagonda which as well as Citroen opted for a single spoke steering wheel.

So what is so ingenious about a single spoke steering wheel...

If only there was an article to tell us. Well thanks Claus Ebberfeld and his "Via Retro Classics with a Scandinavian Flick" Blog we have.

..and its a visual Citroen steering wheel feast plus the piece de resistance, not from Citroen, but another automaker in one of their off the wall design moments which for me is their most interesting-looking incarnation. (ie the Aston Martin Lagonda)

I think Claus' article is an interesting read, and an interesting coffee table flick through the images at the least.

One spoke's all well & good but doesn't leave much room for cruise & other controls

An example of something that is never going to get re-invented, just look at the space it takes up

Its more dramatic bigger

I was impressed with it on my dad's Morris 1000, the first one in our town and the only one for quite a while.
