The Chrysler Laser was the futuristic K-car-based answer to all those science-fiction Japanese cars of the middle 1980s. We've seen some of the Dodge counterparts to this car in this series, including this '92 IROC R/T, this '90, this '88, and this '87 Shelby Turbo Z. Since I've been collecting Japanese 1980s digital dashes, I just couldn't resist adding a Detroit 1980s digital dash to my collection, in the slipperiest of slippery slopes.
Yes, I've grabbed this Laser's digital dash and hooked it up to power, and in the meantime I've grabbed a few more Detroit digital instrument clusters from junkyards.
Check out the cool fader/balance joystick control. Less cool is the fact that Chrysler used this exact rig well into the 1990s.
The Laser XE came with all manner of computerized gadgetry, plus it talked! Unlike the earlier Nissan Maxima, this setup was all-digital.
