It's just a stock photo they picked -- practically at random -- to illustrate the article. Ironically, the article is about modern cars. Even more ironic is that the steering wheel shown is an early MB "safety" steering wheel, with a crash pad in the center!

True it is a stock photo but I'd bet they didnt pick it at random...probably the neatest looking steering wheel picture they had.

Rather cute. I just wrote a "letter to the editor" at forbes.com.
I'm interested to see what kinda reply it generates. -CTH

Looks like an RHD car too.

Yup, I hadn't noticed that the stock picture is possibly a RHD. I thought it was interesting that they chose an old wheel, perhaps a legal advise from their concil? because using a new wheel picture would open them up to a law suit?
