Busiest Dashboard Ever (Feb, 1933)
Fifty Instruments Help Run This Car
Collecting instruments to place on his automobile is the unusual hobby of Lawrence Grayson, of Los Angeles, Calif. Forty-one, to date, grace his car’s driving compartment, with nine more outside. Besides regulation motor instruments they include such novelties as a barometer for foretelling the weather, an altimeter to show Grayson his elevation, an airspeed indicator, a periscope, a compass, and a device that shocks a would-be car thief by releasing an electric charge of 32.000 volts.
All this is now on his great-grandson’s cell phone, except for the neat 32,000v theft deterrent but that will be in the iPhone, don’t worry.
“Does it come in black?”
Good Lord, the guy’s last name is “Grayson” too. Bet his kid was named “Dick”…
Because piloting a car in the 1930s wasn’t enough of a pain!
It looks like about a 1932 Auburn.
They don’t mention the accessory headlights with the skinny slots in them
