Nostalgic. I remember the little ash trays on the side panels.

@perrone1 Yes, that and the fizzy material covering most of the seats and door panels and headliner too.

How appropriate that this is being shown in the lounge as it looks like the entrance to a lounge. It wasn't until the fifties that interiors became brighter and color keyed to the exterior of the car. Love the picture Galen, it made me itch just looking at it.

That's exactly what it was called. It was much softer new than it became as it got older/used.
