The Wiki entry says the electronics package for the car cost a TON,
and, since the CRTs were just used for instrumentation, I'm guessing
it was a custom, from-scratch job.
The Buick Reatta from the early 90's had a relatively advanced
touch-screen computer that controlled A/C, the radio, the trip
computer, and a basic calendar. I think it was all custom hardware as
well.

some sort of microcomputer for the dashboard displays. Anyone know
anything more about it?
Short of scouring eBay and buying such a car (and incurring the wrath of
SWMBO) I can't find out much about it. I bet someone here knows though.
