Driving Museum "Cruise In" - Saturday, June 5, 2021 -- part 4

Not the most attractive design but this car was better than new...





Incredibly nicely restored/improved interior.
I'm sure it's way nicer than the way it left the factory.







Nice door handle design.
This car followed the 100, which didn't have any...

Also added the external fuel filler (versus the 100, which you had to open the trunk to fuel...).

The reflectors were "fixed" by integrating them into the body.  Perhaps the only nicer part of the 3000 versus the 100, visually speaking...



The gauge layout and the chrome trim is nice.
Also like the steering wheel.  Don't know what the lever in the center of the steering wheel does (choke or spark advance control?).  I have one of these horn button/levers hanging in the garage...

The transmission location and shift lever layout is unfortunate.
It looks like you have to lean forward quite a bit every time you shift...
