Nice image. I'll look through my pile to see if I have a Feb 68 .

I remember the article it was about the interstate high system. The original picture was in color. My dash lights have always been on the dim side and now as my eyes are getting on the dimmer side, they look worse at night. It is a cool picture

   "Bottom logo " tach means it's after 700ish

Randy - Excellent point that I also forgot to list in my original post. I was going to say that it being a mid-to-late series car (because of the tach logo position) could lend further credence to the possibility that it could be a Hertz car.

Could be the long exposure to get all the traffic lights to blur and streak that is making the dash lights brighter.

My first thought as well. Now how did they keep them from being blurry from all the vibrations caused by driving ?

Look at the drivers image in the rear view mirror.  It is pretty blurred.  The dash is much more large vibration resistant than the mirror.  Also notice, that mirror is not an OEM, I expect replaced for the shot.

But let's get back to the initial comment about the brighter instrument lights.  Does anyone remember them being that bright when the cars were new?

NC - Nice! This was the very point of me posting the photo, hoping that it would spark further conversations and recollections...

Thanks,
