I love this!!! As a non-American, let me say never has a brand name been so out of sync with a car design. That thing is anything but an "Old"-smobile. Looking at it I also thought how cool it would be if the dash were entirely modular a-la Framework laptops. "Standard" electrical, electronic and mechanical interfaces to which modders could fit all sorts of weird and wonderful interfaces. And I mean the whole physical dash as well. I know it'll never happen, but somewhere in a parallel universe...

From 1975-1985, they were selling 500,000 Oldsmobile Cutlasses per year. Insane.
