One of an Elio Forum's female members (possibly this one, or -- Elioclub.org --), said that looking at the proposed dash; reminded her of a pair of "Steel Boobs" staring at her! Maybe she has seen too many of those Viking Operas. View attachment 2187 View attachment 2188

To me, that looks more like one of those machines the eye doctor puts up to your face when they measure you for glasses.

I still think of them as silver donuts. I have never seen boobs that even remotely look like that--but then, I've led a pretty sheltered life.

I just learned that they are a tribute to Paul Elio's father who was associated with Elgin.
I have to admit I haven't either but that is what some on here called them. :-) Z

I believe the dash idea is supposed to be derived from a watch similar to this:

Lord Elgin Direct Reading Wrist Watch from the 1950's.
