You are just a kid! It was years before I had AC or heater controls that looked that refined.

Dimmer switch on the floor. Key ignition in a metal dash. Washer fluid pump on the floor. Wing vent windows. No self canceling turn signals. Vents boxes under the dash that you had to open by hand. Power steering and power brakes were an option. Drum brakes on the front. Disk brakes wasn't an option.

For sure. Pump your foot to squirt fluid in the windshield, turn a knob to activate the vacuum wipers.
Pull a slider or knob for vent, push it back to close the vent.
Steering wheels were big to give you leverage for steering in town or parking (parallel parking was fun!)

Some of this yes, but a foot pump for the squirters?

Also the VW Bettle used air pressure from the spare tire for the washer fluid. It pressurized the washer bottle. Put 40 psi in the spare to start. When the pressure dropped to 32. It cut off.

All depending on the car.

A bit more than 25 years ago I bought a 68 Cadillac Sedan de Ville.
This car had everything and even more, of course not all of the goodies were functional when I purchased it.
