Why were (most) old car interiors cooler than modern ones?

because safety wasn't an issue

It's just that it has more contrasting colors and some guages. Change the interior to black and gray and switch the guages for an ipad and it's pretty much the same.

That looks really uncomfortable.

New cars are definitely more comfortable

Not having to fit airbags leaves you more control and liberty with panels surrounding the dashboard and means the steering wheel could be thin.
In this particular case, we have a mid-range car, so the iterior could use relatively nice materials, have shiny stuf if not chrome. There was no need to focus on the weight of interior elements since fuel efficiency was not a concern yet.

Clearly two people who have never experienced old car interiors.

upholstered like an armchair with soft foam and supple leather.

Modern cars are more supportive across long journeys but the foam is just too hard.

No safety
No ergonomics
Barebones features
