Poverty spec dashboards
Discussion
The 350z thread got me thinking of blanks on dashboards. You don't see them so much now. I remember when I wa young my dad had a Cavalier and the whole dash was blank buttons and always wondered what they were all for. 
Has anyone got more blanks than buttons?
A few on my Eunos...

Fischer cassette holders, them were the days. The iPOD generation don't know what they are missing. Space for up to 6 cassettes and an indicator to tell you if a cassette was in the drawer :-)ks at the time.

My car is bad for this, look at the buttons around the gear gaitor (not my car in the pic but a similar one off the web).
I know that in higher spec models you have buttons for a tyre pressure monitor and an auto hold function but otherwise who knows the "missing ones" are.
The black bits on either side of the recirc/heated rear window buttons are also blanks for heated seat switches but I think they did a better job of hiding this.

I was in a Passat CC recently and I can remember one of the buttons being for parking sensorsI know that in higher spec models you have buttons for a tyre pressure monitor and an auto hold function but otherwise who knows the "missing ones" are.

I doubt few could compete for empty spaces and blank switches then the Popular trim level of 80s Fords
I had a Mk2 Fiesta Popular a few years back and you're right. It had a 2-speed heater and a heated rear screen and that was it. Nothing, zilch, nada. Thinking now I'm wondering what else one could need other than a radio.I normally buy second hand but a car which was top of its range when new so I don't see many blanks now.
In my old Fiesta Flight, there was no rev counter, just a blanked plate where it would have been in a higher spec model. The space where the rev counter would have been had a black piece of plastic with a picture of a car on it (not even a Fiesta!) and no warning lights or anything. What bloody good is that?

No temp gauge is what gets me. The first you know about your engine overhearing is steam pouring out of the bonnet. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
