I replaced the plain burnt oak shift **** with a linen Mulliner shift ****. I have replaced the gas cap with the “jeweled” cap, the Bentley valve caps, and added the shearling wool over rugs. I think I’m finished with my modifications.

Very nice mods Gene! I've had my eye on that jeweled gas cap. Haven't pulled the trigger yet....

This one looks like the aluminum look cap for a Porsche.

The Porsche cap is available at your Porsche dealer. The Bentley cap is available at your Bentley dealer. Try finding them on eBay for a lot less $$$.

Oh well one more addition. The sunglasses case. Found on eBay all scratched. With a little polishing looks like new.

I have to thank Roman 615 for this great idea. Ordered them in July and they just came today. Simple installation. The hardest part was getting back up after laying on the floor. When you guys are in your 70s you will understand.
