The Interiors Thread.

Ambient lighting is awesome. The stuff Ford was putting into Lincolns a decade ago was very nice in my Grandfather's car, and when I first learned the C4 had a very basic equivalent I was really pleased to see it. I'm sure the ones in the various toys of the super rich look great in person.

So that’s what a living room looked like in 1970.

Nearly. Missing authentic plastic seat covers.

Oh man. Can you imagine this combined with ambient lighting?

So sad I never bought one. In 2005, a black S2000 was off lease. Traded my EP3 Si and bought an '05 Odyssey EX-L. Same price as the S2000.
But I lived in The Bronx. Wasn't trying to have my car be a donor for someone's Corolla.

Rather I dont need to say that this is not stock , factory interior of any Volkswagen...

1966 Porsche 911S 2.0

The original 911S’s cockpit genuinely transports you back in time. The green-numbered dials are gorgeous while dashboard materials don’t get much cooler than basket weave (why do you think Singer has replicated this?)

To be honest : How many cars (not racecars) have driver seat in the middle between 2 seats for 2 passengers?

 

[anlis]

Mercedes CL class - It has literally the most comfortable car seat I have ever sat in .

Mercedes S class from 1998 (W220 generation)

Alfa Romeo 166

This period of Alfa Romeo interior design has aged really well IMO. I'm guessing (I've only experienced a 159, and that was actually pretty good) that the quality isn't exceptional, but they just have so much character compared to contemporary Audis and BMWs.

Even the interior of the W220 looks hopeless.

Even the interior of the W220 looks hopeless.

It does look a bit like the interior of a late nineties to early noughties econobox has been scaled up about twenty percent and dingy plastic and cloth have been replaced by wood and leather in the exact same configuration.

...

The interior style is cool. I can't do that play doll beige though. Maybe ivory or brown, if I had to stick with that blue.

 

[VXR]

Man, that is delicious.

First gen Oldsmobile Auroras had a couple cool interior color options.

Teal everywhere.

Or how about a more subtle blue?

I dig 'em, just a shame so few buyers seemed to feel the same since they're pretty rare. They were only available paired with certain exterior colors (probably a good thing, but still), looking their best when exterior and interior were matched. Like this gorgeous green pearl example currently for sale in Florida.

God I want it.

When I think of the words "90s" "GM" and "INTERIOR" this is what I imagine.

Could be worse though...when I think of Chrysler products from the same time period, I just think of the creaking plastic sound that you got with a tray of Chips-Ahoy cookies.
