Instrument Panel
simple yet handsome

Speaking of Radiator Caps
how about this Oldsmobile model?  It had a visible thermometer on the other side so the driver could monitor engine temperature


Tongue-in-Cheek?
this P51 Mustang was no "Friendly Ghost", at least to Germans

"Stork"
the Germans named this observation aircraft after the stork (Storch) due to its ungainly legs

"Flying Jeep"
Stinson L-5 Sentinel resembles the  Cessna L-19/O-1 Bird Dog.  Both were liaison and observation aircraft.

this 1938 Buick used for a Lt. General had little ornamentation

"Cub"
the Piper J-3 Cub was also used for observation and remains a popular civil aircraft today
