1972 Chicago Auto Show-9

All you auto sleuths - whose cockpit is this?

I think it might the Lamborghini Miura again.

It is certainly a Lamborghini - looking at the crest on the centre of the steering wheel.

Interesting to see all those switches lining the narrow shelf between the steering wheel and speedometer glass—I've never seen anything like that (but then I've never seen a Lamborghini)!

Some of the Jaguar sedans from 1988-97 had some switches on a sloped panel below the steering wheel in a similar manner.

Jaguar saloons (Series II and III) used to have a small shelf across the Dashboard (usefully wide enough to balance a can of Coca Cola on - by happy accident rather than design)

Underneath this shelf they had a row of 4 switches - 2 either side of the radio.

The consensus, here and elsewhere, is that it is a Lamborghini, either a Miura or Estrada. I have not found an internet photo of either matching this, though some are close. It is not likely the Miura posted earlier, as it comes from a negative on another roll, and you can see I couldn't have gotten to the driver's window on that vehicle. I think it comes from a lighter car on the near edge of the first photo, and I must have come back to the exhibit later on. Who knows after 54 years?

The interior photo, and these comments, reminds me of the interior of my 1976 Fiat X1/9. I'll post a pic; excuse me for posting a NON-B/W print!
