Cars w/ classiest or unusual interiors?

I was wondering if I could opinions from you fine people about which
classic cars had (have) the nicest interiors or most unusual
interiors. I know this is a bit subjective...

I saw a 63 buick riviera with a chrome and brushed aluminum(?) dash
and nice leather seats that I thought was just stunning.
Another nice interior was on a jag xj12? mid 80s' (ok, not so antique)

I looking around for something to buy; the interior is big for me
because, well that is what I'm going to be looking at when I drive the
thing.

Cheers!

Hi,

Interiors..... Yesterday I posted some pics of a 1958 Cadillac
Fleetwood 60 Special, including some interior shots. Go look on
alt.binaries.pictures.autos and you'll see a really over the top factory
interior. White leather, with black and silver brocade (spelling???)
inserts... Packard also did some outrageous stuff on the 56 Carribeans.
Some of the 400 series also had Patent Leather seats, with reversible
cushions! Yup, no kidding!.... I also really like the mid 60's Thunderbird
interiors. Take a look at some on eBay, and you'll see what I mean. The
66-69 models are especially nice. And they're priced reasonably.... All
Jags have great interiors. You can't go wrong with those. I am especially
partial to the Mark IIs.... Again, a good bargain for the $$$

IMHO the '55 Studebaker President Speedster, and to a lesser extent the
56-61 Studebaker Hawks have the finest looking dashboards of any
American car ever made. And that's what's important isn't it? since
you look at that more than anything else? The Speedster also had a very
nice leather interior. Nothing too frilly, but simple and elegant.

The early Porsche 911s look pretty good from behind the wheel too.

Actually, now that I think about it, the front fender shape is very
similar (and appealing) between the 911 and the Studebaker C/Ks.
Hmmmm.... I wonder... a '53 Stude coupe or hardtop, with a Speedster
interior and early Porsche 911 headlights molded into the front
fenders... I'm a sick man!

How about the Kaiser "Dragon" with reptile skin look seats?
