Default 1962 Imperial dash.
Would like to have a flat bottom steering wheel in my next vehicle but I doubt it.

Chrysler Corp. had some of the most iconic designs of the day. There interiors were fabulous. Those dash’s were lite with electroluminescent which was basically a continuous “hot wire” and the first basically back lite if you will dash. I had a 1966 Charger that had this same lite dash—very cool.

When the dashboard itself has tailfins, you know you're in high cotton.

I'm confused. Polaris is an off-road side-by-side quad, not a car.

Was your dad driving a Dodge Polara off road, per chance?

And where is Big Bob, speaking of totaling vehicles. Did he get banned?
