    Still not prepared to see these as "classics"
    Very nice looking example. I like it.

    The digital gauges above the glovebox look kind of strange. Wonder what all the extra switches and lights on the dash are for. Overall a pretty clean car.

    That unit looks to me like it might be one of those aftermarket trip / fuel mileage 'computers' that became available starting sometime in the late 80's, IIRC.

    A Radio Shack special perhaps?

    Which is weird because the car came from the factory with the tripminder computer. I s'pose it's possible a Tripminder can go bad, but I've never seen one that malfunctioned on computations...only lost the display. But a clear picture of the aftermarket unit would be nice; that one pic is too blurry. Photo was taken with a spud camera.
