Hi Jason,
Lexi, eh? I wonder what Lexus means in Latin.
I think the wood dash harkens back to the times when cars were hand
built out of wood by Coach builders. None of the cars today match the
level of luxury found in the old Packards or Duesenbergs. So, even when
wood car bodies were replaced by steel and cars came to be mass produced,
luxury car makers still wanted to mimic the luxury of the bygone era
(1910-1930).
thanks
jae
