You've just gotta see this !!!!

The pictured dashboard is definitely a Cadillac, 1954 or 55 I'd say. I grew up with a '54 Coupe de Ville and learned to drive on it (but loathed it...what a bulbous, sluggish tailfinned tank!). So I could find my way around that dashboard blindfolded.

Looked up the interiors of both the 54 and 55 Caddy and the 55 has the same steering wheel and dash so take a peek over here.

The places in South America that were/are RHD are the former British Empire countries (Belize and the former British Guyana), along with Bermuda. Nearly everywhere else in the Western Hemisphere is Left hand drive, like in the US. The European Continent is likewise Left hand drive. Great Britain & Ireland are the only countries in Europe that are RHD. Most RHD countries are former members of the British Empire, like India, Australia, New Zealand, and nations like Burma, Japan, South Africa, and such.

Don't forget the Turks and Caicos! I was stuck there for 95 days some years ago. It was easy to get used to driving on the left. One night, one of my guys (not me!) got a little tipsy and forgot which side to drive on. He had a little fender bender.......... He ran into the Governor!;)



What about the bahamas? I can't remember.



Have a nice day

Yes, I didn't think the Pontiac pictured was the right car because it appears to be early fifties, where the dash appears to be mid-fifties.



I think Caddy it is too. I rode around in a buddy's '54 or '55 Caddy when I was still in my teen's. Yep, it was a heavy brute !! Seems to me there was something unusual about starting that car -- like the starter button was under the gas pedal, and you had to mash it right to the floor to engage it.



Then again, that was a loooooong time ago, so maybe my memory of those days is a little foggy! :-)



I'll never forget the times we had in the "56 Olds 98 2dr Hardtop that replaced the Caddy though !! I never seem to see another like it anymore -- always 88's. Have they gone extinct ??
