Pierce Arrow, bigger than you think, about the size of an Escalade or Expedition

The Startix.... what a great name!

Above the driver, looks like a vent

Elegant and simple design to the gauges

Looks far more comfortable than the modern seat foam material, looks like a comfy old sofa

Just below the pull rope is an interesting piece, looks like a cigarette and lighter holder, or maybe pens and paper, and it has a beautiful clock on the face

Nice handles!

I'm completely amazed at the handcrafted wooden mirror, notice that the above and below photos have the light (beautifuly simple) on the opposite sides of the mirror, these are mirrors are on both sides of the rear window.... each mirror had a different dispenser. One was perfume, I forget what I was told the other had.
