Default RIP Dawson Sellar

Most 928 owners probably do not know who he was but they see his work every time they drive.

The 928 interior design has held up well over time, even has that floating wrap around console look when the contrasting carper colors are used.
RIP, nice read thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting this. I still impress people all the time by showing them how the pod goes up and down with the wheel. The dash would still look very modern if the climate control and other components were modern. The overall design is as timeless as the exterior.

Thanks for posting Errka.

I have deep respect for such pioneers of innovative design. I was struck by the beauty of the overall design of the 928, from the moment they were introduced, and vowed I would own one someday, after driving a brand new guards red manual 928S in 1982.

RIP, seems so inadequate a saying. He certainly contributed to the 928. And enriched our experience. Thank you Erikka for enlightening us a little.
