AT THE WHEEL

 

The cockpit of a 1929 La Salle. I thought that its age and monochrome interior made a B&W rendering appropriate. Strange controls. The spiky thing in the center is for the headlights. There is another dial to advance or retard the spark (who can remember that?). And not a lot of us Americans know how to drive a manual transmission any more.

    I have always been impressed by La Salle cars. Lovely b&w photo of the interior of this one.

    I learned what the choke control actually does, did.

    I just love old cars. Even the steering wheels are beautiful.
