The interiors of yesterday's cars look very simplistic when compared to those of today. If luxury materials such as precious woods are still present today, the dashboard has changed a lot. On most pre-war models, the driver has little information at his disposal. On the Bugatti Royale, yet the most expensive car in the world in the 1930s, there was no fuel gauge, speedometer or ammeter. The steering wheels were very high and masked a good part of the small windshield. The cité of automobile in Mulhouse presents an impressive collection of oldtimers.
