Comic books date back to the 1930s. Superheroes made their comic book debut in 1938 with the publication of Action Comics No.1 featuring Superman. Many popular heroes and villains have been introduced since, immortalized on television, film and of course, comic books.
Now- do you remember those little cars? The Honda N600. The little 600cc air cooled machine made its American debut in 1970 priced at around $1500. They were small and light at less than ten feet long and 1300 pounds, and simple. The SOHC 600cc powerplant was a modified version of a Honda motorcycle engine. Most N600's were sold through Honda motorcycle dealers. 35,000 were sold in the States.
Honda replaced the N600 with the Civic in 1973 and a network of car dealers was established.

sports car combined with soft lines and subdued color make this print
perfect for any environment.
This lovely print by George Cosmo Wagner
would print and display nicely as a canvas or as a framed print on
watercolor paper. I'd even give it a go as a metal print.

Today we explore the instrument panel of a 1955 Oldsmobile Super 88. There's no GPS, no back-up camera, not a heads up display or LED to be found.
The interiors of these classic cars featured beautiful, artistic design that emphasized function as well as form.
The speedometer and odometer were prominent- usually right in front of the driver. These were mechanical devices loaded with intricate gears and springs. I've heard that the odometer in some of the old cars could be rolled back by lifting the rear wheels and driving in reverse. I've never had a car that did this so I can't confirm.
The radio was most often an AM only unit- sometimes with vacuum tubes- and push button presets.
You also got a cigarette lighter and an ashtray, sometimes gauges for water temp and oil pressure. And warning lights- don't forget the warning lights.
There is a nice write up on the "10 Coolest Dashboards of the 50's" on the web site The Daily Drive
Well worth a read.
