EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the John Barrett Collection, we are transported back in time to the 1960s as we take a closer look at the dashboard and steering wheel of a classic Ford Cortina car from 1965. The Cortina, a popular British model produced by Ford from 1962 to 2002, was known for its sleek design and advanced features, making it a favorite among car enthusiasts during its era. The image showcases the car's dashboard, adorned with a myriad of dials and switches, each one essential for monitoring the vehicle's performance and maintaining optimal driving conditions. The large speedometer and tachometer dials dominate the center of the dashboard, while smaller gauges for fuel, coolant temperature, and voltage levels can be found towards the edges. The dashboard also features a simple yet functional design, with a clean layout and easy-to-read labels. To the left of the dashboard, we can see the three-spoke steering wheel, which is a hallmark of classic cars from this period. The wheel's smooth leather covering and metal accents exude an air of sophistication and elegance. The steering column is adorned with a horn ring, a shift lever for the manual transmission, and various controls for the windshield wipers, turn signals, and headlights. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of automotive design during the 1960s. The Ford Cortina's dashboard and steering wheel are not only functional components of the vehicle but also symbols of a bygone era, evoking memories of road trips, weekend getaways, and the simple joy of driving.
