    I do know that US regulations require a knee bolster. If I recall correctly, they are supposed to keep you from going under the dash if you're not wearing your seatbelt, so the airbag saves you.

    That's a very cool looking car.
    I think John might know something about these. :)

    I heard it last sold for over $300K!

    Here's another car I had never seen before. Love the air horns. I forgot what it is. Jag?

    Raymond Loewy's Jaguar XK140, restyled and revealed in 1955 with a body constructed by Boano. Sadly, it was destroyed by fire in 1957.

    It looked great upon first showing with clean lines:


    Apparently, the only reason for that initial clean look was because the designers missed their deadline and were still figuring out what to do with the bumpers, extra lights, and air horns. Less is more. ;)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I thought it was a Jag. All the proportions are right. Thanks!

    And of course, a vehicle needs side protection from those pesky pedestrians. This is the well-known Ben Hur accessory:
